Nearly Two Centuries on the Wabash River
Bluffton's oldest documented settlement dates to Dr. Joseph Knox's 1829 cabin a few miles downstream, with the town itself founded in 1838 as the seat of Wells County. Today's roughly 10,308 residents live in housing spanning that entire span, from riverfront-era construction to modern subdivisions further from the bluffs.
Moisture Risk Near the River Bluffs
Homes closest to the Wabash River and Bluffton's namesake bluffs face more humidity and groundwater proximity than properties set back in Wells County's flatter farmland, and the region's humid summers and freeze-thaw winters add steady moisture pressure to wood framing and drywall regardless of distance from the water. Older river-adjacent homes are worth checking carefully for ventilation gaps.
