Kingsland is an unincorporated community in Jefferson Township, Wells County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.
A post office was established at Kingsland in 1884, and remained in operation until 1922.[2] An old variant name of the community was called Parkinson.[3]
On September 21, 1910, an interurban rail crash occurred in Kingsland due to a failure to pull over. 41 passengers died, and safety protocols were strengthened thereafter.[4]
