Richland is a small, unincorporated community located in the state of Indiana, United States. It is found in Rush County, specifically within Richland Township. Being "unincorporated" means it does not have its own separate city or town government. Instead, it is part of the larger county area. Richland is situated along State Road 244. It lies south of Rushville, which is the main town and county seat of Rush County.
A Look Back: Richland's History
Richland was officially planned out and marked on a map in 1854. This process is called "platting," which means creating a map of a piece of land, showing its boundaries and divisions. The community got its name from the Richland Township where it is located.
For many years, Richland had its own post office. This post office opened in 1827. It helped people send and receive letters and packages. However, the post office eventually closed down in 1903.
