Cloverdale is a small place in Wisconsin, located in Juneau County. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and buildings that isn't officially a city or town with its own local government. Instead, it's part of a larger area called a "town" (which is like a township in some other states), specifically the town of Necedah.
History of Cloverdale
Early Days and the Post Office
Cloverdale had its own post office starting in 1912. A post office was very important back then because it was the main way people sent and received letters, packages, and news. It connected the community to the rest of the world.
The post office served the people of Cloverdale for many years. However, it eventually closed down in 1947. Even though the post office is gone, the name Cloverdale remains. The name itself is thought to be "descriptive," which means it likely describes something about the area, perhaps a valley filled with clover or a green, pleasant landscape.
