Dunlap Digital MarketingMarketing for the growing community between two cities

Doing Business in Dunlap, Indiana

Dunlap began as a small farming community and grew into a suburb serving both Elkhart and Goshen. A post office operated here from 1886 to 1902, and by the 1980s Dunlap had become a residential and commercial hub between the two cities. Today more than 6,400 people call it home.

The community is also known for its resilience. After the Palm Sunday tornadoes of April 11, 1965, residents rebuilt their homes and neighborhoods, and that spirit of pulling together still shows in local schools, churches, and businesses.

Concord Community Schools, including Concord High School, serve Dunlap families, and the Interurban Trolley's Concord and Elkhart-Goshen routes link the area to both cities. That central location makes Dunlap a natural base for contractors, retailers, restaurants, and service providers who serve the whole county.
