History

Highlandtown was originally built up chiefly by settlers of Scottish ancestry. The name Highlandtown is derived from the Scottish Highlands. The post office at Highlandtown was called Inverness, there being already another post office with the former name. The Inverness post office was established in 1838, and remained in operation until 1902.
