Founding & history

[edit]

Decatur County: Interim Report, Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana, 1999. p. 85 writes "The village of Letts was laid out in September of 1882 by Joab Stout and others . It is situated in an area of rich farm land , and has therefore been a center for grain exportation . In 1868 Allen W. Letts built a store on what is now SR 3. The settlement that sprang up around this store was known as Lett's Corner . [...] After the completion of the Vernon , Greensburg & Rushville Railroad to the east of Letts Corner in 1880, the village grew in the direction of the tracks and was renamed simply Letts ."
