Highland is an unincorporated community in Helt Township, Vermillion County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. [2]
Highland was probably so named on account of its lofty elevation. [3] A post office was established at Highland in 1838, and remained in operation until 1868. [4] With the construction of the railroad, business activity shifted to nearby Hillsdale, and the town of Highland declined. [5]
Highland is located at 39°47′40″N 87°23′44″W / 39.79444°N 87.39556°W (39.794444, -87.395556), one mile west of the Wabash River and the Parke County town of Montezuma, and less than a mile northwest of Hillsdale.
...because it is the highest spot in that area.
