Braytown is a small, quiet place in Indiana, United States. It's what we call an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that don't have their own local government, like a city or town does. Instead, it's part of a larger area called Craig Township, which is in Switzerland County. So, while it's not a city, it's still a real place where people live!
A Bit of History
Braytown got its name from an early settler named David Bray. He was one of the first people to settle in this area a long time ago. Many communities in the United States are named after the brave pioneers who first lived there.
