Honduras is an unincorporated community in Kirkland Township, Adams County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. [1] All that remains today is a church and its activity center.

History

Honduras was most likely established sometime around 1870. [2] A post office was established at Honduras in 1890, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1904. A general store was in business in the early 1900s. [3] The community was likely named after Honduras, in Latin America. [2]
