A Look Back at Buck Creek's History

The Short-Lived Post Office

Even though Buck Creek is a small community, it once had its own post office! This post office opened its doors in 1899. A post office is where people send and receive letters and packages. It's an important place for connecting communities.

However, the post office in Buck Creek didn't stay open for very long. It closed down just six years later, in 1905. Sometimes, small post offices close if there aren't enough people using them, or if mail services change.
