Navilleton is an unincorporated community in Greenville Township, Floyd County, Indiana.

History

The first settlement at Navilleton was made in 1844 by a colony of German Catholics, among them Michael Naville, for whom the town was named.[3][4]

A post office opened in Navilleton in 1894, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1902.[5]
