Hillsdale is anunincorporated community inHelt Township,Vermillion County, in theU.S. state ofIndiana.
A post office has been in operation at Hillsdale since 1872.[2] The town was laid out in 1873.[3] The community was so named on account of its lofty elevation.[4] Its early businesses were located at the bottom of the hill, near the railroad depot, but most of the houses were built higher up on the hillside. This elevation difference complicated movement between the two sections of the community, so in 1903 theHillsdale Steps were built on the hillside to improve foot transportation.[5]
Hillsdale is located on the western banks of theWabash River.
TheUnited States Census Bureau delineated Hillsdale as acensus designated place in the 2022American Community Survey.[6]
