Shideler is an unincorporated community in Union Township, Delaware County, Indiana, in the United States. [1]
Shideler had its start by the building of the railroad through that territory. It was named for Isaac Shideler, a railroad promoter who donated the land for use of the depot. [2] A post office was established at Shideler in 1871, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1929. [3] The Shideler Grain Company has grown into a major operation in Shideler, begun in 1968 by purchase of the local Farm Co-op Bureau grain elevator. [4]
