A Look Back at Berwick's History
Berwick was first planned out and officially marked on a map in 1845. This process is called "laying out and platting." The community got its name from Berwick, Pennsylvania. This was the hometown of one of the very first people to settle here.
A post office was opened in Berwick in 1848. This made it easier for people to send and receive letters and packages. However, the post office eventually closed down in 1955.
