History of Heath

Heath has a simple but interesting past. For many years, it was a place where people could send and receive mail. A post office operated in Heath from 1910 until 1963. This was very important for the people living there, as it connected them to the outside world.

The community got its name from a man named Perry Heath. He owned a large ranch in the area. It was common for places to be named after important local figures or landowners back then.
