Fincastle is an unincorporated community in Franklin Township, Putnam County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. [1]
Fincastle was laid out in 1838. [2] The community's name may be derived from Fincastle, Virginia. [3] A post office was established at Fincastle in 1847, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1905. [4]
Apparently the name is for Fincastle, Virginia, or for the old county of Fincastle...
