Baltimore was a small town built on the western banks of the Wabash River in Mound Township, Warren County, Indiana. It was laid out in 1829 and flourished for several years, but when the Wabash and Erie Canal was completed on the opposite side of the river the community dwindled. With the exception of a single brick house, built in the 1880s, no trace of Baltimore now remains.
