Anita is an extinct town in Hensley Township, Johnson County, Indiana, United States.[2]
Anita was the site of an Illinois Central Railroad passenger depot, the station house of which was moved and converted to a home near Trafalgar in 1936.[3] [4]
By the 1980s, Anita had been depopulated. The state highway department intended to remove it from maps, but preservationists succeeded in placing a roadside plaque to commemorate the town.
