History of Curryville
Curryville has a history that goes back to the mid-1800s.
How Curryville Started
The community of Curryville was officially planned in 1859. When a place is "platted," it means that its streets, lots, and public areas were drawn out on a map. This helps organize how the community will grow.
Curryville's Post Office
For many years, Curryville had its very own post office. This post office opened in 1879, which was a big deal for the people living there. It meant they could send and receive mail right in their own community. However, the post office eventually closed down in 1907.
