White Cloud is a small, quiet community located in Harrison County, Indiana, in the United States. It's not a city or town with its own government, but rather an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and buildings that are part of a larger township, Harrison Township.
The Story of White Cloud
White Cloud got its interesting name because of something you might often see there: lots of fog! Imagine clouds settling down low, making the area look like it's covered in a "white cloud."
A post office was opened in White Cloud in 1884. This was an important place for people to send and receive letters and packages. The post office served the community for many years. However, it eventually closed down in 1934.
