A Look Back: Capioma's History

Capioma was officially planned out in 1857. This process, called "platting," is when people first draw up maps showing the streets, blocks, and lots for a new community. The community was named after an Indian chief, honoring his legacy.

In the same year, 1857, a post office opened in Capioma. This was a very important place for people to send and receive letters and packages. The post office served the community for many years, but it eventually closed down in 1906.
