Carbondale is an unincorporated community in Liberty Township, Warren County, Indiana, United States.
This place had a post office and was known as Clark's Cross Roads at least as early as 1846; later it was called Free Hall. The discovery of coal in the town's vicinity led to the current name being applied in 1873.[2][3] The first house was built here in 1854 by John Thompson; another was built the next year by Andrew Brier, and a church was constructed in 1867.[4]
Carbondale is located just east of the intersection of U.S. Route 41 and Indiana State Road 63, about 6 miles north-northwest of the county seat of Williamsport. The scenic Big Pine Creek flows about a mile and a half east of town.[1]
