About Sunman

Sunman is a Ripley County town whose name came straight from an early postmaster. John Sunman served the regional post office, which began operating in 1833, and his name stuck as the surrounding settlement took shape. The town lies in Adams Township and is tied to the Sunman-Dearborn school system, giving the place a clear local center amid southeastern Indiana's farm country. Sunman's story is straightforward: an early mail route, a remembered local official, and a town name that survived long after the first post office opened.
