Boundary City is a small, unincorporated community located in Pike Township, Jay County, Indiana, in the United States. An unincorporated community is a place that doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town. Instead, it's part of a larger county or township.
A Look at Boundary City's Past
Boundary City has a short but interesting history. A post office, which is a place where people send and receive mail, was opened in Boundary City in 1852. This post office was an important part of the community for many years.
Why the Name "Boundary"?
The name "Boundary City" comes from something very important nearby. It refers to the boundary, or dividing line, of an old agreement with Native American tribes. This agreement, called a treaty, helped set the borders for land in the area. The post office eventually closed in 1904.
