Otisco is an unincorporated community in Charlestown Township, Clark County, Indiana.
Otisco was laid out in 1854 when the railroad was extended to that point. [3] According to one source, the name might be borrowed from New York's Otisco Lake. [4]
The Otisco post office was established in 1870. [5]
Otisco is located along Indiana State Road 3 in the northern corner of Charlestown Township. The northern fringe of the town extends into neighboring Oregon Township.
...and perhaps named for Otisco Lake in New York.
