Jordan is an unincorporated community in Morgan Township, Owen County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.
An old variant name is Jordan Village. A post office was established under the name Jordan Village in 1854, and remained in operation until 1922.[2] According to Ronald L. Baker, the community was probably named after the Jordan family of settlers.[3] An older volume of local history states the nearby Jordan Creek was named after the Jordan River in West Asia.[4]
