Moscow is an unincorporated community in Orange Township, Rush County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. [1]
Moscow was laid out in 1832. [3] The community's name most likely was a transfer from Moscow, in Russia. [4] A post office was established at Moscow in 1827, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1907. [5]
The town was struck on June 3, 2008, by an EF3 tornado which destroyed its landmark 19th-century Moscow Covered Bridge over the Big Flatrock river. [6]
...probably named for the Russian city.
