History of Emma

Emma has an interesting past, especially concerning its post office. A post office is where people send and receive mail. The post office in Emma first opened in 1868.

Back then, it wasn't called Emma; it was known as Eden Mills. This name was used until 1875. Later, in 1880, the post office's name was changed to Emma. It continued to serve the community for many years before finally closing its doors in 1903.
