'''Pine Village''' is a town in [[Adams Township, Warren County, Indiana|Adams Township]], [[Warren County, Indiana|Warren County]], in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Indiana]].<ref name=gnis/> The population was 212 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]].<ref name="wwwcensusgov">{{cite web

==History==
The town was founded at the location of a trading post called Pine Village, which may have been named for a lone pine tree that stood on the bluff of Pine Creek, or it may have been named for the creek itself.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Baker|first1=Ronald L.|last2=Carmony|first2=Marvin|publisher=Indiana University Press|year=1975|location=Bloomington, Indiana|title=Indiana Place Names|page=130}}</ref> The town was laid out in 1851 by Isaac and John R. Metsker, and the plat map was made by county surveyor Perrin Kent.  The Methodist Church was already there; it was built several years earlier.<ref>{{cite book

The post office at Pine Village has been in operation since 1854.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp?task=display&state=IN&county=Warren | title=Warren County | publisher=Jim Forte Postal History | accessdate=July 10, 2016}}</ref>

===Rail service===
Rail service reached the town in the 1870s. The year 1883 witnessed the completion of a north/south [[Chicago and Great Southern Railway]] (later the [[Chicago and Indiana Coal Railway]]) line between [[Attica, Indiana|Attica]] and [[Fair Oaks, Indiana|Fair Oaks]], some {{convert|50|mi}} to the north. The line was later part of the [[Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad]]. It came to be known as the "Coal Road" for the large quantities of [[coal]] transported along it. When the C&EI floundered in the early 1920s, Charles F. Propst purchased the Coal Road and in October 1922 incorporated it as the [[Chicago, Attica and Southern Railroad]]. The CA&S was placed in [[receivership]] on August 5, 1931, and incremental abandonment occurred over subsequent years.<ref>{{cite book
