Mahalasville is a small, unincorporated community located in Indiana, United States. Being "unincorporated" means it's not officially a city or town with its own local government. Instead, it's part of a larger area, in this case, Morgan County. Mahalasville sits right on the edge of two areas called townships: Jackson Township and Washington Township.
A Look Back at Mahalasville's History
Mahalasville has a simple but interesting past. One important part of its history involves its post office.
The Mahalasville Post Office
Imagine a time before emails and text messages! People relied on letters to communicate. A post office was a very important place where people could send and receive mail.
Mahalasville got its own post office in 1854. This meant residents could easily send letters to friends and family far away. They could also get letters and packages delivered right to their community. The post office served the community for many years. However, it eventually closed its doors in 1928.
