Cloverland, Indiana

Cloverland is an unincorporated community in Posey Township, Clay County, Indiana.

The town was platted in 1834 as a speculative venture by Terre Haute doctor Charles Modesitt.

The town grew steadily with several general stores, a carpentry shop, and several other ventures.

With the construction of the railroad, business activity shifted to nearby Brazil, and the town's population dwindled.

[3] A post office was established at Cloverland in 1850, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1920.
