Guilford History

Guilford is an unincorporated town in York Township, Dearborn County, Indiana. It is located at the forks of Tanners Creek.

The railroad created a town that was attractive to settlement and commerce. In 1875, Guilford boasted an Odd Fellows Hall, a Grange Hall, a school and a small railroad station.
