A Look at Level's History
Level was never officially "platted." This means that unlike many towns that are planned out with specific streets and property lots before they are built, Level grew more naturally without a formal layout. The community's post office first opened its doors in 1834. It served the people of Level for a long time, helping them stay connected through mail, until it finally closed in 1905.
