The community contains a historic covered bridge over the Patoka River, the Wheeling Bridge, completed in 1877.[1] HistoryWheeling was originally named Kirksville, and under the latter name was platted in 1856.[2] It was once a thriving agricultural community on the banks of the Patoka River until the railroad bypassed the community and it lost business to nearby towns.[3] The village of Wheeling was platted July 4, 1856. It was first called Kirksville, sometimes spelled Kirkville. It may have been named for Robert Kirk, an early judge. Locally it was also called Bovine. A Post Office called Bovine was established on April 4, 1854 but closed July 14, 1902.[4] References1. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.gibsoncountyin.org/listings/attractions/127/covered-bridges-of-gibson-county | title=Covered bridges of Gibson County | publisher=County of Gibson, IN | accessdate=11 September 2014}} {{Gibson County, Indiana Points of Interest}}{{Gibson County, Indiana}}{{coord|38|24|47|N|87|27|19|W|type:city_region:US-IN_source:GNIS-enwiki|display=title}}{{GibsonCountyIN-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite book|last=Baker|first=Ronald L.|title=From Needmore to Prosperity: Hoosier Place Names in Folklore and History|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SXB5AAAAMAAJ|date=October 1995|publisher=Indiana University Press|isbn=978-0-253-32866-3|page=346|quote=This village was platted on July 4, 1856, and first called Kirksville...}} 3. ^{{cite book|title=History of Gibson County, Indiana: With Illustrations Descriptive of Its Scenery, and Biographical Sketches of Some of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_984AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA203|year=1884|publisher=Jas.
