Another bit of an oddity in that it shows up rather late (1960s), but it's not a suburban development or anything like that. As far as I can tell, it is the road of that name crossing the railroad tracks, though I can't get anything that says that. Even before I took steps to exclude the shopping center on the outskirts of Indianapolis, hits were down in the clickbait range; most are real estate hits, especially for an "at Perry Crossing" complex which is actually a mile or so west. Book hits are all either fed gazetteer stuff, other fed pubs, or chance juxtapositions. Maybe this is a locale, but I have nothing. Mangoe (talk) 02:37, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete If it doesn't appear on maps until the 60s, it was likely an informal local term that somehow got added to a map, then into GNIS, then here, where we have invented a nonexistent community. Nothing found. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 13:44, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Local papers leave it clear this just a road called "Perry's Crossing". It doesn't actually cross the tracks, because that road on the other side is a different later road. It does however cross Silver Creek, and is probably named for whoever owned the land that the crossing was on. Way back, when Some guy with the last name Perry probably built a toll bridge across the creek.James.folsom (talk) 23:50, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
