Kids Encyclopedia Facts

History of Brewsterdale

Brewsterdale has a simple but interesting history. Back in 1915, a post office was opened there. A post office was a very important place for any community, as it was where people sent and received letters, packages, and sometimes even paid bills. It helped connect the people of Brewsterdale with the rest of the world.

This post office served the community for many years, closing its doors in 1932. The name Brewsterdale itself comes from the Brewster family, who were early settlers in the area. Settlers are people who move to a new place to live and build a community.
