Jericho is a small place in Sullivan County, Indiana, in the United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes or buildings that doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town does. Instead, it's governed by the larger county or township it's part of.

Jericho is located within Cass Township. It's also part of the Terre Haute Metropolitan Statistical Area. This is a fancy way of saying it's near the larger city of Terre Haute, and the areas around them are often grouped together for things like counting populations or understanding the local economy.
