How Folsomdale Got Its Name
One interesting fact about Folsomdale is how it got its name! Back in 1886, a post office was opened here. People decided to name it after a very special person: Frances Folsom.
Frances Folsom was the wife of Grover Cleveland, who was the President of the United States at that time. She had just become the First Lady when she was 21 years old. The First Lady is the title given to the President's wife. Naming the post office after her was a way to honor her.
