The town's name is pronounced with a long a and stress on the first syllable.[4] A post office established as Grant, on December 20, 1875, was moved to Hoover Station in 1883; Hoover Station was a waystation for the Chicago & Alton Railway, where Jacob Hoover was the postmaster[5] and kept a general store with his brother.[6] Jacob was the son of Henry and Sarah (Curtis)Hoover, the first white settlers of this area. The name was changed to Athens on May 28, 1896, for Athens, Greece.[7] While the town is slowly being incorporated into Rochester, a tiny post office exists there for the few remaining residents who still have an Athens address.[1] GeographyAthens is located at {{Coord|41|03|13|N|86|07|31|W|type:city}}, six miles east of Rochester along Indiana State Road 14.
