History of Lynchburg
Have you ever wondered how places get their names? Lynchburg got its name from a man named Frank Lynch. He was an important person who worked for the railroad.
Back in 1895, a post office opened in Lynchburg. This was a big deal because it helped people send and receive letters and packages. The post office stayed open for about 16 years, closing its doors in 1911.
