New Corydon, Indiana

This article may need to be rewritten to comply with Wikipedia's quality standards, as Jay 1922, pp. 101, 102, 109, 237, 239, 247, 253, volume 1 clearly states that this was a town with churches, a school, stores, and a post office, which beat Jay City when the railroad came; not this GNIS "community" drivel. You can help. The talk page may contain suggestions. (February 2025)
