History of Magnolia
Magnolia got its name from Magnolia Township, which is the larger area it's part of. The town has been around for a while, with its first post office opening in 1886.
The town was officially planned out, or platted, in 1891. This means its streets and building lots were mapped out. A few years later, in 1894, Magnolia became an official incorporated town. This means it gained its own local government and could make its own rules.
