The History of Eve

Eve first began as a place called "Clayton Station." This happened when the railroad lines were built and extended to that spot. A post office was opened in 1872. It was also named Clayton at first.

However, the name of the community had to be changed. Officials from the postal service needed a different name. This was to prevent any confusion with another town named Clayton in Missouri. So, in 1885, the name was officially changed to Eve. The post office in Eve eventually closed in 1914.
