Near this site (on West Central school property) on the edge of the old Metamonong Swamp, was White Post, early trading post and stop for the Lafayette-Michigan City stage coach. The county's first post office, established here May 1, 1838, was called White Post. A one-room White Post School stood for many years at the S.W. corner of the crossroads.
