History of Emerickville

A long time ago, from 1854 to 1906, Emerickville had its very own post office. A post office is a place where people send and receive letters and packages. Having a post office was a big deal for a community back then because it helped people stay connected and made it easier to do business. When the post office closed in 1906, it might have meant that fewer people lived there, or that nearby towns had bigger post offices that everyone used.
