A Glimpse into Colima's Past
A post office was opened in Colima in 1886. This was a place where people could send and receive mail. It served the community for many years before closing down in 1909.
How Colima Got Its Name
The name 'Colima' likely comes from Colima, a city and state in Mexico. It's thought that the community was named to remember the Mexican–American War. This war happened between the United States and Mexico from 1846 to 1848. Naming places after important events or faraway places was common in the past.
