Trafalgar is a town in Nineveh and Hensley townships, Johnson County, Indiana, United States. The population was 1,101 at the 2010 census.
This town is 20 miles (32 km) south of Indianapolis.
Col. Avery M. Buckner is credited for platting a town, in the early 1850s, along a short-lived flat bar railroad that ran between Franklin, and Martinsville. First named Liberty, the name was changed to Trafalgar. Soon Ezekiel W. Morgan came to town to open a store. Denied a site near the railroad, he bought land in a nearby village founded by George Bridges.
In 1868, the railroad was rebuilt as the Fairland and Martinsville branch of the Big Four. The post office (and town name) was moved to Morgan's store. By 1870, the “old” and “new” Trafalgars had grown together and were briefly incorporated as one. The current town of Trafalgar was reincorporated in 1946. By the 90s, the town had grown 266%. The name of the town commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar. [4]
According to the 2010 census, Trafalgar has a total area of 2.64 square miles (6.84 km2), all land. [5]
It is within the Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson United School Corporation. [6] Trafalgar is home to Indian Creek Senior High School, one of seven high schools located in Johnson County. It is also home to Indian Creek Middle School and Indian Creek Elementary School.
Trafalgar has a public library, a branch of the Johnson County Public Library. [7]
