History

Medora was laid out in 1853 by West Lee Wright in the southeast corner of a square mile of land which he owned. Wright named the town Medora (pronounced Me Doe Rae) for the musical notes & dubbed it “The Town of Harmony”, though it is commonly mispronounced in the most unharmonious way today. It consisted of 10 blocks and 209 lots.

Medora is the setting of John Mellencamp’s “Hurts So Good” music video.
