Aroma is an unincorporated community in White River Township, Hamilton County, Indiana.
Aroma, founded in 1836, [3] was named by William P. Haworth, who kept a small store there. [4] Aroma was a descriptive name, perhaps for the scent of fresh-cut hay. [5] [6] A post office was established at Aroma in 1870, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1902. [7]
Allegedly the village was named for pleasant odors...
