editPulaski was laid out in 1855 soon after a gristmill has been built at that point.[2] The community took its name from Pulaski County.[3] A post office was established at Pulaski in 1852, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1927.[4] Pulaski is also the site of a highschool, and is part of the Indian Creek Township.
