Welcome to Red Bridge ...

So far, we found very little information about Red Bridge. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Red Bridge to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Red Bridge - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Red Bridge, please Contact Us.


While we don't have the exact location of Red Bridge , we believe that it would have been located within present day Wabash County<2>.

While we don't have a date for the founding of Red Bridge, you might get a feel for it by knowing that during our research the earliest mention that we found (so far) was in a book dated 1895. The community was inundated by the Mississinewa Reservoir.

A typical abbreviation for Red Bridge: Red Brg. (or less commonly used: Red Brdg. or Red Brdge.)

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Red Bridge, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>If you're interested in how the shape of Indiana's counties, including Wabash, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
