Honduras is an unincorporated community in Kirkland Township, Adams County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.[1] All that remains today is a church and its activity center.

History

A post office was established at Honduras in 1890, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1904. A general store was in business in the early 1900's.[2] The community was likely named after Honduras, in Latin America.[3]
