About La Fontaine

La Fontaine is a quiet small town tucked away in Wabash County, surrounded by the open farmland of north-central Indiana. Originally called Ashland, the community was later renamed in honor of Francis La Fontaine, a prominent Miami chief. Life here moves at an easy, relaxed pace, offering residents a peaceful rural setting while still keeping them within a short drive of nearby hubs like Wabash and Marion.

At the center of town, tree-lined streets showcase a mix of well-preserved historic homes and classic storefronts dating back to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It is the kind of close-knit community where neighbors know one another and the local post office has been a familiar fixture since the 1840s. For anyone looking for a quiet, friendly place to settle down with plenty of country charm, La Fontaine has a lot to offer.
