Easytown is a former unincorporated community in Clinton Township, Vermillion County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. [2]

History

According to tradition, Easytown was so named on account of the "easygoing" spirit of its residents. [3] The town stood until the 1970s when it and the surrounding area were bought by Peabody Coal Company, which entirely demolished the town. [4] It is now a former settlement and mining town. [5]
