Arcola is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Lake Township, Allen County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.[3][1] The population of the community is only 33.[4]
Once a booming train station for farm products and a regional U.S. postal center in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, in more recent years it has become a bedroom community of Fort Wayne. The community has a volunteer fire department and an elementary school in the building which once housed grades one through twelve, including Arcola High School.[5] An annual Arcola tractor pull is held in the community.[6]
