Cloverland is an unincorporated community in Posey Township, Clay County, Indiana. It is part of the Terre Haute Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Geography

Cloverland is located at {{coord|39|30|05|N|87|13|53|W|type:city}}, about six miles west of the county seat, Brazil, and less than one mile east of the Vigo-Clay line. Cloverland is within the humid continental climate zone. The terrain is gently rolling and includes a small brook.

History

The town was platted in 1834 as a speculative venture by Terre Haute doctor Charles Modesitt. The town grew steadily with several general stores, a carpentry shop, and several other ventures. With the construction of the railroad, business activity shifted to nearby Brazil, and the town's population dwindled.[3] A post office was established at Cloverland in 1850, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1920.[4] Today, a church, a commercial building, and cluster of houses are all that remain.
