Redding, Indiana facts for kids

Redding is a small place in Lawrence County, Indiana, in the United States. It's called an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and businesses that don't have their own local government, like a city or town does. Instead, it's part of the larger county government.

History of Redding

Redding was officially planned and marked out on a map in 1842. This process is called "platting." It's like drawing a blueprint for a new neighborhood or town.

The Sinking Spring Post Office

Before Redding was platted, it was home to a post office called Sinking Spring. This post office helped people send and receive letters and packages. It was open for many years, from 1837 until 1852.
