Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Durbin is a small, unincorporated community located in Hamilton County, Indiana, in the United States. An "unincorporated community" means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's governed by the county.

A Glimpse into Durbin's Past

Durbin was officially established in 1888. This means that's when the area was planned out, likely for homes and businesses.

The Durbin Post Office

A post office is a place where people can send and receive mail. Durbin had its own post office, which opened in 1890. It helped residents send letters and packages. However, the post office eventually closed down in 1905. This might have happened because the community changed, or perhaps mail services became available in nearby towns.
