About Scipio
Scipio is a small, quiet community in northwestern Jennings County. Home to around 200 residents, it offers a relaxed rural setting surrounded by open fields and rolling countryside. State Road 7 runs right through the center of town, giving commuters a quick, direct route northwest into Columbus for major employers and shopping, or southeast into North Vernon for everyday errands. Sand Creek winds along the northern side of town, giving the area a scenic backdrop.
Founded in the 1830s, Scipio holds onto its local history, with the 1886 Scipio Covered Bridge still spanning Sand Creek just off the main road. Day-to-day life here is peaceful and unhurried, with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the outdoors. For anyone looking to relocate to a close-knit, quiet corner of southern Indiana without being too far from larger neighboring cities, Scipio offers a great balance.
