College Corner, Jay County, Indiana
 | This article may need to be rewritten to comply with Wikipedia's quality standards, as Baker 1995, p. 100 clearly calls this a village, not this GNIS "community" phoney baloney, and Jay 1922, pp. 67–68 gives the story of its initial development by Brown and later construction by Wier, with a longer version in the Montgomery 1864, pp. 83–85 original, also in the Bowen Biographical p. 255, and whom the Lewis Publishing Biographical on p. 194 calls "a land shark".
