History

Morris was originally called Springdale, and under the latter name was first settled about 1840 by a colony of German Catholics.[4] The name was changed to Morris in 1856.[5] A post office called Morris has been in operation since 1858.[6] The center of community life is St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church which was founded in 1856. The church also built a grade school in 1861 where many of the residents of the community attended until the school closed down in 1977.[7]

Morris is located at 39°16′56″N 85°10′39″W.
