Chatterton, Indiana

Chatterton was a small town in Adams Township, Warren County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. It was founded in 1896 and included a school, a general store, and a post office that operated from 1900 to 1906.[2] Though it has since dwindled away completely, the location of the town persists on county maps, and is cited by the USGS.[3] The mailbox for the single house remaining at the site has "Chatterton" stenciled on it.
