Places to stay in Kentland, Indiana

Kentland is a town in Jefferson Township, Newton County, Indiana. The town was founded in 1860 as "Kent", though this name was soon lengthened to Kentland. The name honors Alexander Kent, who acquired the then marshy plat and prepared it for development. The city is the county seat of Newton County. Once primarily a cattle town, Kentland is now an agricultural community with a diversifying economy with the town motto "Where Agriculture and Industry Meet. " The town is served by an original Carnegie library and is an important crossroads on US highways 41 and 24. Geologists believe that the area was the site of an ancient meteorite impact. Local dining options include Old Colonial Inn, McDonald’s, Monical’s Pizza, and Don’s Drive In.

If you are travelling in the area, Kentland is located close to Pleasant Valley School (historical), Goodland Elementary School, Hambridge Ditch, Murphy Cemetery and South Newton Junior and Senior High School.
