Four Presidents Corners is a small, unnamed community located in Monroe Township, within Allen County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. It's a quiet place, known mainly for its interesting name and its historical significance.

The Story Behind the Name

Four Presidents Corners got its unique name from a special spot nearby. This spot is a quadripoint, which means it's a place where four different areas meet. Imagine four puzzle pieces coming together at one corner! In this case, the four areas are townships, which are like smaller divisions of a county.

These four townships are named after famous U.S. presidents:

  • Jackson Township
  • Jefferson Township
  • Madison Township
  • Monroe Township

So, the community gets its name because it's close to where these four "president" townships meet.

Helping History Live On

The Four Presidents Corners Historical Society is a group of people who care deeply about the history of this community. They have started a special project to fix up the Four Presidents Corners monument. A monument is like a statue or structure built to remember something important.

The society's goal is to restore the monument by the year 2017. This date was chosen because it marked the 100th anniversary (or centennial) of the monument's original dedication. They are working hard to raise money to make sure this important piece of local history is preserved for everyone to see and learn from for many years to come.
