How Hatchville Got Its Name
The community of Hatchville was named after two brothers, Frank and Ed Hatch. These brothers were important to the early days of the community. They owned and ran a building that served as both a store and a place for people to gather. It was like a community center for everyone living nearby. Frank Hatch also helped the community by opening the local post office in November 1889. This made it easier for people in Hatchville to send and receive mail.
