Muren is a small place in Pike County, Indiana, in the United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes or buildings that isn't officially a town or city with its own local government. Instead, it's part of a larger area called Patoka Township.

History of Muren

Muren has a short but interesting history. A post office was opened there in 1905. Post offices were very important back then for sending and receiving letters and packages. This shows that Muren was a recognized settlement, even if it was small. However, the post office didn't stay open for long. It was closed just five years later, in 1910. This suggests that Muren remained a very small community.
