Paw Paw was a community in Richland Township, Miami County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.
Paw Paw was platted in 1847.[1] When the Eel River Railroad was built in Miami County, it was not extended to Paw Paw, and the village became a ghost town.[2]
A post office was established at Paw Paw in 1840, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1883.[3]
