History
[edit]Lydick originally had three different names, which were Warren Center, Sweet Home, and Lindley.[2]
There remains an abutment of the St Joseph, South Bend & Southern which was part of the Michigan Central Railroad. A bridge formerly was there, which was built in 1910, but was demolished in 1945 after Michigan Central abandoned its line there just 3 years prior, in 1942..
The Michiana Pallet Recycle Company is a place where people recycle pallets. It is located on Quince Road, between the Norfolk Southern and South Shore Line tracks, there is talks ongoing to convert this town into a quiet zone but very little information exists which dates back to the late 2000's.
Lydick was platted during 1831-82, in which later a post office opened under the name Warren Centre in 1839. It was renamed to Sweet Home in 1885, and in 1902 was renamed again to Lindley. It was renamed once more to Lydick in 1909, and was discontinued in 1913.[3]
