Kingsbury is a town in Washington Township, LaPorte County, Indiana, just northwest of the intersection of U.S. Route 35 and U.S. Route 6. The town was founded in 1835 and incorporated on March 3, 1941. During 1940 and 1941, the Kingsbury Ordnance Plant was built for use during World War II; the plant briefly reopened during the Korean War before closing permanently, and parts are now the Kingsbury Fish and Wildlife Area and the Kingsbury Industrial Park. Kingsford Heights was built as its housing. The population was 242 at the 2010 census. It is included in the Michigan City, Indiana-La Porte, Indiana Metropolitan Statistical Area. The town has its own fire department, KVFD (Kingsbury Volunteer Fire Department), and a Greek revival style First Baptist church built in 1851 with its own graveyard and Winchell Cemetery.
