History
According to a 1996 book on Indiana border towns, Kreitzburg was founded in 1880, but "has never been much of a town." It once had a blacksmith shop, tavern, and general store, all of which were gone, leaving just a few houses. Yet, the author noted that an open field had a sign promising a future shopping center, suggesting that development of the area was coming.[4] A 1908 newspaper article joked that "Yes, Kreitzburg is on the map" when mentioning a local motorist having more fun "than all the autoists between here and Kreitzburg."[5]
Under the name Kreuzburg, the community had a population of 75 in 1890.[6]
A 1917 Chicago Examiner article discusses "the little village of Kreitzburg" on what was then known as the Lincoln Highway, Script error: No such module "convert". outside of Dyer, on the route to nearby Brunswick, Indiana.[3]
Today, the location is within the zipcode for Dyer, Indiana, and largely suburban though not within the Dyer city limits.
