What To See...

A town in Whitley County of Indiana, Churubusco is also known as Busco to the locals. With a total area of just 0.9 square miles, Churubusco is home to approximately 1,800 people. Previously Turtletown, what is Churubusco today is made up of two 19^th century towns: Union and Franklin. When the populations of these two towns grew large enough to warrant a common post office, the residents were told they could not name it either “Union” or “Franklin” since these names were already taken. The name “Churubusco” was chosen for the site of the Battle of Churubusco in the American-Mexican War, and the rest is history.
