Arcola is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Lake Township, Allen County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.[2] The population of the community is only 33.[3]
Once a booming train station for farm products and a regional U.S. postal center in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, in more recent years it has become a bedroom community of Fort Wayne. The community has a volunteer fire department and an elementary school in the building which once housed grades one through twelve, including Arcola High School.[4] An annual Arcola tractor pull is held in the community.[5]
The Arcola post office was established in 1858.[6] The name of the community commemorates the Battle of Arcola.[7]
Arcola is located at the intersection of Eme Rd and Arcola road, two miles east of the Allen-Whitley county line.
