A Look Back: Howel's History
How Howel Began
Howel started to grow when a railroad line was built through the area. This was a big deal because railroads helped connect places. They made it much easier for people and goods to travel across the country.

A post office opened in Howel in 1886. This was an important place for people to send and receive letters and packages. The post office served the community for many years, helping people stay connected. It eventually closed its doors in 1957.
