Not this town: the quarantined carriers

Disambiguation searches run; each item printed with the ground that actually holds it.

Four other carriers print this name, and none of them is this town. NeighborhoodScout's "Indian Village — South Bend, IN 46635" neighbourhood profile is quarantined: it is a commercial statistical polygon described under the postal city, printing apartment complexes and high-rise apartments and a population scale that cannot be this town's 63 housing units on 0.09 square miles; no official City of South Bend neighbourhood list reached names an Indian Village neighbourhood, and no evidence of a distinct municipal neighbourhood of this name was found. Indian Village, Noble County — the former Alcinda, with its post office of 1867–1888 and its genuine history as the reservation residence of the Miami chief Papakeecha, 1827–1834 — is a different place whose history must not transfer across the county line. Fort Wayne's Indian Village is a developer's subdivision of 1925, its Section A plat recorded in 1927, its street names drawn from The Song of Hiawatha — a naming story that belongs to Allen County. A 2005 Tribune item's Howell's Indian Village Tavern is a west-side South Bend business; an "Indian Village Allotment" in an Ohio sitemap is Cuyahoga County's. Each stays where it belongs.
