Toto is an unincorporated community in Center Township, Starke County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.[2]

History

An old variant name of the community was called Rye.[3] The origin of the name Toto is obscure, but it could possibly be of Native American origin.[4]

A post office was established at Toto in 1855, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1907.[5]
