History of Imogene
Imogene was officially planned and laid out in the year 1900. This process is called "platting," which means creating a map of land that shows where streets, lots, and other areas will be.
The community was named after a character from a famous play. It got its name from Imogen, who is a character in William Shakespeare's play Cymbeline.
A post office was opened in Imogene in 1901. It was known by the name "Imogen" at that time. The post office helped people send and receive mail for over a decade. It stayed open until 1913, when it closed down.
