Hibernia is a small, unincorporated community located in Ripley Township, within Montgomery County, Indiana. It's found in the U.S. state of Indiana. An "unincorporated community" means it's a group of homes or businesses that isn't officially a town or city with its own local government.
History of Hibernia
The name Hibernia comes from an old, classical name for the island of Ireland. This suggests that early settlers in the area might have had connections to Ireland.
Geography of Hibernia
Hibernia is situated along a waterway called Fall Creek. This creek is a "tributary," which means it's a smaller stream that flows into a larger one. Fall Creek flows into Sugar Creek. Sugar Creek then continues its journey until it joins the much larger Wabash River.
