Dresser was a small town inSteuben Township,Warren County, in theU.S. state ofIndiana. It was founded shortly before the turn of the 20th century and consisted of several residences and a post office. The post office operated only from 1899 to 1903.[1] The town was named afterPaul Dresser, the American songwriter who wrote "On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away" (which became Indiana's state song); Harvey Porter Layton, the first postmaster, had met Dresser at theHotel Mudlavia and was so impressed with the man that he named the town after him.
