About Knightsville

Knightsville is a quiet community of around 700 residents in Clay County, Indiana. Situated right next to Brazil and about twenty miles east of Terre Haute, it gives residents a peaceful small-town setting with straightforward access to bigger-city jobs and amenities. Getting around the region is easy, as U.S. Route 40 runs directly through town and connects to State Road 59 just down the road.

The town got its start in the late 1860s when an iron furnace brought workers to the area, taking its name from Dr. A. W. Knight, the original landowner. That early boom shaped the compact street layout that still gives the neighborhood its walkable, close-knit feel. Today, Knightsville appeals to people looking for affordable, relaxed living with a friendly Midwestern atmosphere and an easy commute to surrounding hubs.
