A Look Back: The History of Judge

Judge has a short but interesting history. This community got its name from Edward Judge, who was the first owner of the land where the community was built.

For a few years, Judge even had its own post office! This post office opened in 1897. It helped people send and receive letters and packages. However, it only stayed open for about five years, closing its doors in 1902.
