Pikes Peak is an unincorporated town in Van Buren Township, Brown County, Indiana. According to legend, Adrian Miller, was planning on moving to Colorado to take advantage of the redesigned Homestead act in 1875. He wrote on the side of his conestoga wagon "Pikes Peak or Bust" Miller made it out of Columbus to the area now known as Pikes Peak. To save face he called the hill Pikes Peak and the name stuck.
