Packerton is an unincorporated community in Clay Township, Kosciusko County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.
Packerton was laid out as a town in 1882 by John C. Packer, when the railroad was extended to that point.[1] A post office was established at Packerton in 1881, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1926.[2]
The community is the namesake of the Packerton Moraine.
