Toad Hop is an unincorporated census-designated place in Sugar Creek Township, Vigo County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.[2] It is officially part of West Terre Haute. In 2010, Toad Hop was a census designated place.[3] It is part of the Terre Haute metropolitan area.

Name origin

The origin of the name Toad Hop is deeply rooted in legend. One explanation is that the town was laid out on a swampy field, and the abundance of toads and frogs hopping around inspired the name.[4]
