Darrough Chapel is a small place in Indiana, United States. It is called an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and buildings that isn't officially part of a city or town. It has its own identity but doesn't have its own local government like a city does.
Where is Darrough Chapel?
Darrough Chapel is located in Howard County. Specifically, it's in a part of the county called Center Township. It's also considered part of the larger Kokomo area. This area is known as the Kokomo Metropolitan Statistical Area.
A Bit of History
This community has been around for a long time. Records show that Darrough Chapel has existed since at least the year 1894. The community gets its name from a local church, Darrough Chapel Church. This church has been an important landmark for the area.
Staying Independent
Darrough Chapel is located just outside the official city limits of Kokomo. This means it's not governed by Kokomo's city rules. In 2011, a local newspaper, the Kokomo Perspective, reported something important. It said that Darrough Chapel was not included in any plans for Kokomo to expand its city boundaries. So, it continues to be an independent community.
