Education

The Huntington County Community School Corporation operates Salamonie School, a K-5 school which is the only remaining school in Warren. The former Salamonie Township High School was consolidated into Huntington County Community High School, now known as Huntington North High School, in 1966.[10] Warren Elementary School operated in the old high school building for many years, its basketball team having adopted the old high school's nickname; "Lightning 5." However, the school was eventually closed and the nickname retired. The building served as the Knight Civic Center until the name was changed to its current name the "Knight Bergman Center".

History

Warren, originally known as "Jonesboro," was platted in 1833 near the Indianapolis & Ft. Wayne Road. In 1837, founder Samuel Jones sold his first lot. The name was later changed due to there being another town of Jonesboro nearby, south of Marion. The town experienced growth in 1878 when a new railroad line was built through the neighborhood.[11]
