Jaybird's History

Jaybird has a history that goes back to the late 1800s.

A Busy Post Office

In 1881, a post office opened in Jaybird. A post office is where people send and receive mail. It was a very important place for the community. It helped people connect with friends and family far away. It also helped businesses send and receive important papers. This post office served the people of Jaybird for many years, finally closing its doors in 1931.

The Community School

Jaybird also had its own school at one time. This meant that children living in the area could go to classes close to their homes. Having both a school and a post office showed that Jaybird was once a busy and active community where people lived and worked together.
