Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Axford is a small, unnamed place in Grays Harbor County, which is in the U.S. state of Washington. When we say "unnamed," it means it's not an official town or city with its own local government. It's more like a small area or community.

History

Axford got its name from an early settler, a person named Mr. Axford, who was one of the first people to live in that area.

A post office was opened in Axford in 1888. A post office is a place where people can send and receive mail. It was an important part of the community back then because it helped people connect with others far away. This post office stayed open for about 16 years, closing down in 1904.
