The Smallest Town in Indiana has a Population of Only 12

Indiana Suburb Just Named One of the 10 Best in America
One Indiana city just received some very high honors. Do you think you know which one it is?. I am proud to be a native of Indiana. I've lived here my whole life and while I wish we were closer to places like the beach, we still have a lot of great things to offer for a "flyover state". Indiana is full of many small towns with a great deal of charm. We also are home to a few big cities that have a lot to offer residents. Recently, one of these Indiana towns was named one of the top suburbs to live in the country. While it's not my hometown, I think it is a pretty big accolade for the state.
