A Look at Lulu's History

Lulu has a short but interesting past. A post office was opened here in 1908. It was called "Lula" and helped people send and receive mail for a few years. However, the post office closed down in 1915.

The community itself was named after a person! It got its name from Lula Stairs, who was the wife of a local judge. This is how many small places in the United States got their names, often honoring important people from the area.
