Hyndsdale was located three miles southwest of Martinsville, Indiana on State Road 67. On the map it is shown north and south of the highway in northern Section 11 and southern Section 2 Jefferson Township, Morgan County, Indiana. Only the Hyndsdale Christian Church, 3695 Old State Road 67 South, remains as a landmark of the former town. The Hyndsdale School was in the path of the highway and demolished in 1939.

Blanchard's "Histories of Morgan Monroe and Brown Counties 1884", gave this description of Hyndsdale. "This little village was founded soon after the railroad was put in running order. It has usually had a store of general merchandise, a post office, and a blacksmith shop. Considerable timber is shipped during the season. The Stouts have been in business there. The village is convenient for the neighborhood

The little town of Hyndsdale, also known as Hynds Station, Hinds Station and Hindsdale, grew up around the railroad and the train station. In about 1853 the New Albany and Salem Company projected the Indianapolis and Vincennes Railroad. Work was later abandoned and then resumed by General A.E. Burnside (1821-1881). After completion the line was leased to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. In 1962 Hynsdale was a flag station with a population of 50.The village was named for William Hynds, a native of Ireland and a land owner in the White River Valley. Mr. Hynds established the post office and became Hyndsdale's first postmaster on June 15, 1869. The Hynds family also operated a sawmill in the town. Mr. Hynds married Susanna Lankford and they were the parents of Margaret (Duckworth), Nathan, Mary (Bain), Lenner, Thomas, John, and Perry. After Susanna's death William married Carolyn Fondel. Susanna is buried in Lankford Cemetery overlooking Hyndsdale. William moved to Kansas after Susanna's death and is buried there. The post office in Hyndsdale was discontinued on September 30, 1904.

In 1874, the "People's Guide" records the following. "Hyndsdale, a small station on the I. & V. Railroad, about three miles southwest of Martinsville, is the only town in the township of any business note. Stout & Richards have a very nice stock of dry goods, groceries, notions, etc.; also keep the post office. There is some shipping done from this point. They have nice roads, and the appearance of the wheat fields seen along the bottoms indicates a rich harvest. The church and school privileges are very good."

The "Morgan County Republican" on November 3, 1870 printed this account.

     "The first station beyond White River, on the I. & V. Road, (Indianapolis and Vincennes Railroad) and four miles west of Martinsville, is Hyndsdale. It derives its name from William Hynds, Esquire, a prominent and well known citizen, and ex-Sheriff of Morgan County. Daniel G. Richard is Postmaster at this place; he is also engaged in merchandising and has a neat store room which he keeps well filled with dry goods, groceries and notions as are usually found in a country store. Young, energetic and accommodating, Mr. Richard is doing a good business, having, with a limited capital, sold goods to the amount of $8,000 during the past year. This is one of the best points for shipping lumber and stock in Morgan County. Convenient to the switch, the lumber from Garrison's mill, also from those of William Loper, Dixon and Shields, Sourwine and Brother, and Robert Brown, is piled in large stacks, ready for shipment. Twelve car loads, averaging 6,000 feet of lumber, are shipped weekly from here. Most of this lumber is sold at Indianapolis, where it brings from $20 to $26 per thousand, showing the receipts from this source, to these men alone, to be not less than $36,000 annually.

From this point last year were shipped 3,000 fat hogs, besides other stock. The farm owed here by Mr. Hynds, and upon which he resides, embraces 370 acres, 240 in the bottom, the balance upland, in pasture and timber. Like all the land in Lamb's Bottom, his farm is rich and productive, and besides horses, mules and cattle, he generally fattens for market, from three to eight hundred hogs every year.

      Adjoining Hynds is the large farm of J.M. Mitchell, containing over 900 acres, much of which is excellent river bottom land. Near the storehouse of Mr. Richard, Mr. Mitchell has erected a warehouse in which to store, for shipment, the surplus grain raised upon the farm. In addition to first class soil, the farms in this neighborhood are supplied with abundance of pure stock water, which issues from scores of springs, to be found at the foot of the hills, bordering on the wide river bottoms. The water from one of these, bought in pipes, supplies Mr. Hynds' family with a constant fountain of pure, soft water. Mr. Hynds, last year, having built a large new barn, is now engaged in remodeling his dwelling. By raising the roof and enlarging the base, he is adding greatly to the appearance of his home and at the same time securing ample room for the comfort and convenience of his family. From the upper portico of the south front, there is one of the finest and most extensive views of the surrounding country to be seen from any position in the neighborhood."
