Chase is an unincorporated community in Grant Township, Benton County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.[2] Though virtually extinct, Chase still persists on state and county maps and retains a single business in the form of grain elevators operated by Boswell Chase Grain, Inc. A few miles away is the Daughtery Motor Speedway.
A post office was established at Chase in 1873, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1918.[3] The community was named for Simon P. Chase.[4]
Chase is located at 40.5189°N -87.3417°W in Grant Township, and sits on a low rise surrounded on the north, south and west by Mud Pine Creek. Indiana State Road 352 and the Kankakee, Beaverville and Southern Railroad both go west through the town.
