What is Commiskey's History?
Commiskey was officially platted in 1870. When a place is "platted," it means its streets, lots, and public areas are carefully mapped out and recorded. This helps organize the community as it grows.
In the same year, 1870, a post office was opened in Commiskey. This was an important step for the community, making it easier for residents to communicate with the outside world. The post office that opened back then is still in operation today, serving the people of Commiskey.
