Frame as of November 2026
The town in its frame. North Liberty is a town under Indiana law in Liberty Township, St. Joseph County. Its federal identifiers are GNIS feature ID 2396821 and FIPS place code 18-54918 (Census GEOID 1854918; the Census Bureau's 2020 Gazetteer file carries the GNIS number inside the line itself, as ANSI code 02396821). Its ZIP code is 46554 — a postal area much larger than the town, which prints here at its own bounds only. The town's survey frame is Township 36 North, Range 1 East, Second Principal Meridian; the original plat lies on the southwest quarter of section 28 and the southeast quarter of section 29, and the federal place point falls in section 29 (the survey working is printed whole in the land section). The town's published position is carried in several readings, all printed, none silently preferred: the 2020 Gazetteer internal point is 41.532403° N, 86.428041° W; the 2010 Census point 41.532205, −86.428084; the 2000 Census point 41.533029, −86.430381, which the town's official site still prints; and the GNIS point 41.532717, −86.429000. Its land area is likewise carried by vintage: 1.04 square miles, water none, in the 2020 Gazetteer; 0.98 square miles, all land, in the 2010 Census; 0.75 square miles in 2000; the town's own site says "0.8 square miles," and one modern compilation prints 2.663 km². Its elevation prints 732 feet on the GNIS citation and 730 feet in a second carrier — a two-foot variant, carried as such. Howard places the town "in the northwest part of the township," and the township itself — one of St. Joseph County's thirteen civil townships, 42.88 square miles with a 2020 population of 3,416 — frames everything that follows.
