History of Cement City
The area where Cement City now stands first had a post office called Woodstock. This post office opened on January 3, 1838. It closed and reopened a few times over the years.
Later, another post office called Kelly's Corners opened in 1868. It was named after an early landowner, Orson Kelly. In 1886, Kelly's Corners was renamed Woodstock. Then, in 1901, it was changed to "Cement." This new name came about because a cement company was planning to open in the area. On March 5, 1901, the post office got its final name: Cement City. The community officially became an independent village in 1953.
