A Look Back: The Story of Jack
The community of Jack got its name from a person's son! In 1905, a post office was opened in this area. The person who was in charge of the post office decided to name the community after his son, whose first name was Jack. This post office helped people send and receive letters and packages for many years. It stayed open and served the community until 1954.
