History of Lake Como
Lake Como has a bit of history, even though it's a small community.
Early Post Office
For many years, Lake Como had its own post office. This post office served the community from 1859 all the way until 1951. Having a post office was very important back then for people to send and receive mail.
Connection to Bay Springs
In the early 1900s, a person named L. L. Denson moved from Lake Como. He later became known as the founder of the nearby town of Bay Springs. This shows a historical link between the two communities.
