Guthrie is a small place in Lawrence County, Indiana, in the United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that isn't officially a town or city with its own local government. Instead, it's part of a larger area called Marshall Township.
History of Guthrie
Guthrie was officially set up in 1866. When a place is "platted," it means someone drew up a map showing where streets, lots, and buildings would go. This community was named after an important family of early settlers who helped start the area.
