Montmorenci

Montmorenci is an unincorporated census-designated place in Shelby Township, Tippecanoe County, Indiana.[4] Older maps sometimes spell the name Montmorency or Montmorencie.

It is part of the Lafayette, Indiana Metropolitan Statistical Area.

An old variant name of the community was called Bringham's Grove.[5]

A post office was established under the name Bringham's Grove in 1846, and was renamed to Montmorenci in 1853. It is currently not in operation.[6]
