Discovering Avon's Past

Avon had a post office that helped people send and receive mail for many years. It was open from 1891 until 1953. The community of Avon actually moved to its current spot in 1907. This happened because a new railroad line was built, and it didn't pass through the original town area. So, the town moved closer to the new train tracks.

In 1909, about 100 people were estimated to live in Avon.
