A Glimpse into Lodi's Past

How Lodi Got Its Name

Lodi has a bit of history, even though it's a small place. A post office was opened there in 1882. This was an important place for people to send and receive letters and packages. The post office stayed open for many years, until 1928.

The community was named after a city far away in Italy. That city is called Lodi and is located in the Lombardy region of Italy. It was common for early American settlers to name new places after towns they remembered from their home countries or other famous places around the world.
