M.P. B159.9 - 2nd Subdivision - None Listed

The Monon Railroad called this location Horton all the way to the end. State Highway maps refer to it as Hortonville, with "Horton" listed as an alternate name. A Post Office was established in 1883 and named for its first Postmaster, John B. Horton. The elevator continues with truck transportation.
