Tobinsport is a small unincorporated community located along the Ohio River in Tobin Township, Perry County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. Directly across the river is Cloverport, Kentucky.[1] It is at the southernmost point of Perry County.[2]
A post office was established at Tobinsport in 1865, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1891.[3] Robert Tobin served as postmaster.[4]
Tobin Township is in the Perry Central Community School Corporation.[5]
Prior to 1962, Tobinsport had its own high school. The school colors were blue and white, and the mascot was the Pirates. That year, it merged into Perry Central High School.[6]
