History


Packerton was laid out as a town in 1882 by John C. Packer, when the railroad was extended to that point.[3] A post office was established at Packerton in 1881, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1926.[4]

The community is the namesake of the Packerton Moraine.

Indiana State FFA Vice President Lindsey O'Hara served the Indiana FFA Association in 2014–2015.
