Luray is an unincorporated community in Prairie Township, Henry County, Indiana.

History[]

Luray was laid out and platted in 1836.[3] The community was named after Luray, Virginia since a large share of the early settlers were natives of that state.[3] A post office was established at Luray in 1838, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1901.[4]
