A Name Chosen by Chance
Lottie got its unique name in a very interesting way! Back in 1900, people in this area needed a name for their new post office. William Smith was going to be the postmaster. Everyone had ideas, but they couldn't agree on a name.
So, they decided to hold a drawing! They wrote down different names, and one name was picked. The name drawn was Lottie Raby. That's how this community and its post office got their name, which has been used for over a hundred years!
