History of Cora

Cora has an interesting past. It was first known by a different name, McCullough. In 1877, the area was officially 'platted,' which means its streets and lots were planned out on a map. That same year, a post office opened in Cora, helping people send and receive mail. The post office served the community for many years before closing in 1957.
