HistoryThere are several legends to how the town of Modoc got its name. One of them said that a man travelling on the train threw out a cigar box containing the name Modoc, and that Henry Conley, one of the first settlers of the town, picked it up and suggested to bystanders that it would be a good name for the town. Another theory is that Modoc was named after the Modoc people who were traditionally located in northern California.[5] They became noted for their resistance to the US Army during the Modoc War, ending in 1873. A post office has been in operation at Modoc since 1883.[6] Demographics{{US Census population|1900= 221 |1910= 261 |1920= 256 |1930= 236 |1940= 237 |1950= 275 |1960= 238 |1970= 275 |1980= 243 |1990= 218 |2000= 225 |2010= 196 |estyear=2016 |estimate=190 |estref=[7] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[8] }} 2010 censusAs of the census[9] of 2010, there were 196 people, 72 households, and 50 families residing in the town.

In addition to Randolph County, it serves Delaware, Madison, Jay, Wayne, and Henry Counties in Indiana, as well as Darke and Miami Counties in Ohio. Randolph Farms was built on a limestone hill, directly over sand and gravel aquifers, near the drainage basins of White River and Whitewater River. EducationModoc's high school is Union High School. The mascot of the school is the Rocket. Their colors are royal blue and gold. The I. B. & W. RailroadModoc, like many other small towns, probably would not have been built if the I. B. & W. Railroad had not made its way across southern Randolph County, in 1878. The location was poorly drained, but it had the advantage of being rather flat. It was plagued, for many years, by typhoid fever outbreaks. The railroad was built by many contractors. The railroad came through Modoc from the west, and met the contractors, who were building the next section east, in what was then a strip of timber about one-half mile east of where the depot was located.
