Silverwood is a small place in Indiana, known as 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 a larger area called Fulton Township, which is located in Fountain County, Indiana.

A Glimpse into Silverwood's Past

Silverwood was started a long time ago, in the year 1881. Like many small communities, it once had its own post office. A post office is where people send and receive mail. The Silverwood post office served the community for many years, but it eventually closed its doors in 1933.
