Hartwell is a small place in Indiana, United States. It's not a big city or a town with its own government. Instead, it's called an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and maybe a few businesses that are part of a larger area, like a township, rather than having its own mayor or town council. Hartwell is located in Lockhart Township, which is in Pike County, Indiana.
A Look Back in Time
Hartwell has a bit of history, even though it's a small community. For a short time, it was known by a different name: Cabel.
The Cabel Post Office
A post office is a place where people can send and receive mail. A post office named Cabel was opened in Hartwell in 1898. It helped people living in the area send letters and packages. However, it didn't stay open for very long. The Cabel post office closed its doors in 1903.
