Exploring Kiousville's History

Kiousville has an interesting past, including a name change! It was first called Warnersville. This name came from Mr. Warner, who owned the land where the community began.

Early Days and First Businesses

Life in Warnersville started to pick up around 1867. This is when the very first store opened its doors. Imagine a time when a single store was a big deal for a small community!

The Post Office Story

Having a post office was important for people to send and receive mail.

• The first post office opened in Warnersville on January 27, 1875. Its first postmaster was R. Watrous.
• However, this post office closed a few years later, on June 17, 1879.
• The community got its post office back on February 28, 1881. This time, it was called the Kiousville Post Office. This is likely when the community officially became known as Kiousville.
• Sadly, the Kiousville Post Office closed again on September 15, 1900.
• Today, people in Kiousville get their mail through the Mount Sterling post office branch.
