Waldron is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Liberty Township, Shelby County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.
Waldron was originally called Stroupville, and under that name was laid out in 1854 by George Stroup, and named for him.[3] The residents were later unsatisfied with the original name, and petitioned to have it changed to Waldron.[4] The first post office in the community was called Conns Creek.[5] The post office was established in 1832 and was renamed Waldron in 1876, where it is still operating.[6]
The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Waldron has a humid subtropical climate, abbreviated "Cfa" on climate maps.[7]
