A Look Back: The History of Buena Vista

Buena Vista was first planned and marked out in 1848. This is when people decided where streets and buildings would go, setting up the community. For a while, Buena Vista was also known by another name: Middle Fork.

A post office, which was very important for sending and receiving mail in those days, opened in Middle Fork in 1852. This post office helped connect the community to the rest of the world. It stayed open for many years, until 1907, when it finally closed.
