Bear Branch is a small, quiet place in the state of Indiana, United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that doesn't have its own official town government. Instead, it's part of a larger area called Pike Township in Ohio County.
A Look Back in Time
Bear Branch was started a long time ago, in the year 1845. Imagine what life was like back then! A few years later, in 1849, a post office opened there. This was a very important place where people could send and receive letters and packages. The post office served the community for many years, until it closed down in 1937.
