History
The community received its name because its first post office was located in the "home" of postmaster Hugh Cannon in 1834, though people often referred to it by its original name, Kellysburg.[1][2]
The author Edward Abbey moved to Home in 1931, having been born in the Indiana hospital and spending the first 4+1⁄2 years in other towns and villages in the area. Abbey, known for his depictions of nature and its beauty, was said to have gotten much of his inspiration from growing up in Home.[citation needed]
