Montgomery is a town in Barr Township, Daviess County, Indiana, United States. The population was 343 at the 2010 census. History Montgomery was laid out in 1865 by Valentine B. Montgomery. Montgomery was a station and shipping point on the Ohio and Mississippi Railway. St Peter's church is one of the oldest Catholic parishes in Indiana. The first church was a log-cabin built in 1818, followed by frame church in 1823. In 1841, bishop Célestine Guynemer de la Hailandière gave the parish and the land to French priest and missionary Edward Sorin, CSC who came with seven Brothers of the Congregation of Holy Cross. At the time the property consisted in 160-acre tract of land, the frame church with two additional small rooms, and two log cabins. One cabin was used as a school conducted by Charles Rother who took the name Brother Joseph. In the early months of 1842, Sorin started to conceive the idea of founding a college, although one was already present in Vincennes (the College of St. Gabriel, which failed soon after). Sorin thought of founding the college there in St Peters, but he met the opposition of the bishop who lamented that this was not in the original plans and it conflicted with the existence of St. Gabriel's college. However, the bishops also stated that he was not against a founding of a college elsewhere, provided that this effort would not prevent him his Brothers from accomplishing their education duties. Near the end of October the bishop offered Sorin certain lands at the furthermost limits of the diocese in South Bend. Sorin left St. Peters and proceeded to found the University of Notre Dame.
