Dinty's Post Office Story

Even though Dinty was a small settlement, it had its own post office! This post office opened in 1921. Having a post office was a big deal for a small community. It meant people could send and receive letters and packages right there. However, Dinty's post office didn't stay open for long. After 1921, its services were moved to Larabee, another nearby community.
