Trafalgar, Indiana

Trafalgar is a town in Nineveh and Hensley townships, Johnson County, Indiana, United States.

Col. Avery M. Buckner is credited for platting a town, in the early 1850s, along a short-lived flat bar railroad that ran between Franklin, and Martinsville.

Denied a site near the railroad, he bought land in a nearby village founded by George Bridges.

In 1868, the railroad was rebuilt as the Fairland and Martinsville branch of the Big Four.

The post office (and town name) was moved to Morgan's store.
