Athens [3] is an unincorporated community hamlet in Henry Township, Fulton County, Indiana, originally called Hoover Station. A post office established as Grant, on December 20, 1875, was moved to Hoover Station in 1883; Hoover Station was a waystation for the Chicago and Atlantic Railway, where Jacob Hoover was the postmaster[4] and kept a general store with his brother.[5] Jacob was the son of Henry and Sarah (Curtis)Hoover, the first white settlers of this area. The name was changed to Athens on May 28, 1896, for Athens, Greece.[6]
While the town is slowly being incorporated into Rochester, a tiny post office exists there for the few remaining residents who still have an Athens address.
Athens is located six miles east of Rochester along Indiana State Road 14.
