Add article description

Cary was a community, now extinct, in Harrison Township, Miami County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.

History

Cary was home to a society of both Wesleyan Methodists and Quakers.[1] The Pan Handle Railroad being built a mile away from the community and the founding of the nearby town of Amboy led to Cary becoming a ghost town.[2]

A post office was established at Cary in 1858, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1868.[3]
