A Look Back: The History of Carrothers
How Carrothers Got Its Start
The community of Carrothers was officially created, or platted, in 1873. To "plat" a place means to draw a detailed map. This map shows where streets, building lots, and other areas will be. The community was named after the person who started it, James Carrothers.
The First Post Office
Just one year after Carrothers was platted, in 1874, a post office was opened there. Having a post office was a very important step for any new community. It made it much easier for people to send and receive letters and packages. This helped the community grow and connect with the outside world.
