History of Bartlettsville

Bartlettsville cemetery

Bartlettsville was first planned and mapped out in 1860. This process is called "platting." A man named Samuel J. Bartlett created the original map for the community. The area was then named after him.

Years later, in 1886, a post office was opened in Bartlettsville. This allowed people living there to send and receive mail easily. The post office served the community for nearly 20 years. It eventually closed down in 1905.
