Yet another apparent case of a rail stop/post office elevated through GNIS to a "populated place" and thence to a "community" through WP's authorship. The only "habitation" now is an electrical substation which appears in aerials all the way back into the 1950s; a building which one might take as a station sits next to in that image, but that's it. The cited narrative essentially says nobody ever made a town here. Mangoe ( talk) 04:15, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
This 1896 map indicates it's just a post office and siding without lots, streets, or any other appurtenances of an actual town. (It also clearly places the PO & siding in Honey Creek instead of Union.) By 1920 it's gone from the maps entirely. Cram's 1888 rail map shows it as a rail station (named "Wright") as does an 1896 map, so it certainly existed, but it seems safe to say that almost nothing else was there. The Monon Railroad Historical-Technical Society says that prior to 1950 there was a grain elevator, but photos since show nothing but a railroad crossing. ╠╣uw [ talk 20:00, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
