West College Corner, IN

West College Corner is a Union County town in Union Township, with 545 people at the 2020 census. The Indiana–Ohio line forms its eastern edge, where the town meets College Corner, Ohio. The name is a geographic hand-me-down: Ohio's College Corner stood at the northwest corner of a survey township set aside for the state college that became Miami University. Cross the line and the town name still tells you what shaped the map.

School life makes the border unusually concrete. The Union County–College Corner Joint State School District serves residents on both sides, and College Corner Union School sits directly over the line; the gym's center court line marks the boundary. The district is governed by a nine-person board with Indiana and Ohio representation, and the shared arrangement has connected the two communities for generations. West College Corner is a town where a state line shows up in a school building, a school board, and the short trip between neighboring main streets.
