Woodville, Porter County, Indiana

Woodville is an unincorporated community in Liberty Township, Porter County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.

[3] A general store was established in Woodville that served as the passenger and freight depot for the B&O Railroad.

Large quantities of milk, eggs, and other agricultural products were shipped from here to Chicago.

For a period of time from the 1920s until early in the 1940s Woodville boasted of two general stores, one on either side of the railway, serving a large portion of the rural countryside in a three-mile radius.

On May 24, 1946, a very intense tornado struck the community, where it obliterated two homes, three barns, and a gas station.
