What is the History of Fay?

Fay might be small today, but it has a history! A post office was opened in Fay way back in 1892. This post office helped people send and receive mail for many years. It stayed open until 1915.

Besides the post office, the community also had its own school. This school was named after the Fay family, who were early settlers in the area. They helped build the community and gave it its name.
