When Fullertown Had a Post Office

For a period, Fullertown was important enough to have its own post office. This post office opened in 1879, which was a time when many small communities were growing across the United States. Having a post office meant that people living in Fullertown could send and receive letters and packages right in their own community, instead of having to travel to a larger town.

However, the Fullertown post office didn't operate forever. It closed down in 1906. This often happened as transportation improved and people could more easily reach larger towns with central post offices.
