North Judson, Indiana

North Judson is a town in Wayne Township, Starke County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.

The town post office was established on September 24, 1860, as North Judson after William D. Judson, President of the Cincinnati & Chicago Railroad (later a part of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad), which had just been laid through the town.

According to the 2010 census, North Judson has a total area of 1.1 square miles (2.85 km2), all land.

31.5% of all households were made up of individuals, and 15.9% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

Musicians perform live throughout the weekend on a stage at Norwayne Field, a Works Progress Administration-built park situated north at the intersection of SRs 10 and 39.

A short train ride reaches English Lake, at the Kankakee and Yellow Rivers' confluence, before returning to the museum.

Ten miles to the east, Bass Lake, a popular resort, offers summer relaxation opportunities to visitors and locals alike.

Just south of the lake, the Melody Drive-in shows movies on two screens.

The community of North Judson is also a strong supporter of its high school North Judson-San Pierre, and the athletic teams the Blue Jays, particularly in football, and basketball, both boys and girls.
