Collins is an unincorporated community in Smith Township, Whitley County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.[3] It is commonly referred to as a 'ghost town', however this is untrue; Collins just has a very low population and contains an abandoned school.

History

Collins was platted in 1872, and was named after James Collins, a railroad official.[4]

A post office was established at Collins in 1872, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1913.[5]

Geography

Collins is located at {{coord|41|11|51|N|85|23|12|W|type:city}}.
