Collins is an unincorporated community in Smith Township, Whitley County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.[3] It is commonly referred to as a 'ghost town', however this is untrue; Collins just has a very low population and once contained an abandoned school, a General Store, and a Mint mill that processed locally grown peppermint. Collins was also a major grower of Onions, and the Vandalia Railroad shipped tons of onions to national markets.
Collins was platted in 1872, and was named after James Collins, a railroad official.[4]
A post office was established at Collins in 1872, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1913.[5]
Collins is located at 41.1975°N -85.3867°W.
