Converse is an unincorporated community in Jackson Township, Blackford County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.

In 1837, Edward Crumley moved to the southeast corner of the Blackford County, and began a farm with his family.

The crossroads area grew into a small community with several cabins, a blacksmith shop, and a sawmill.

Eventually, a stop named Renner was also added to the line west of Hartford City.

The northern half of Indiana, including what became Jackson Township and Converse, was flattened by two glaciers millions of years ago.

There are four distinct seasons, with winters being cold with moderate snowfall, while summers can be warm and humid.

Average monthly precipitation ranges from about 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm), with the heaviest occurring during May, June, and July.
