Trevlac is an unincorporated community in Jackson Township, Brown County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.[1] The Trevlac Bluffs Nature Preserve, a privately owned and administered reserve, lies to the east and south of the town.[3]

History

[edit]

Trevlac was the name of Colonel Calvert, reversed.[4] A post office was established at Trevlac in 1907.[5] But there was already a Calvert, Indiana, so the Post Office said a different name would be needed. It remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1966.
