A Look at Hillham's Past
Hillham was never officially "platting," which means it wasn't formally planned out with streets and property lots like many towns are. Instead, it grew more naturally over time.
The Hillham Post Office
A very important part of Hillham's history was its post office. It first opened its doors in 1864. This post office served the community for many years, helping people send and receive letters and packages. However, it eventually closed down in 1937.
