Discovering Manning
The Story of Manning
Manning got its name from a person named Martin Manning. He settled here in 1865, claiming land to live and work on.
Later, in 1890, a post office was opened in Manning. This made it easier for people to send and receive mail.
In 1954, Manning joined with two nearby communities, Buxton and Banks. They formed a group called the Tri-City Rural Fire Protection District. This group helped protect their homes and land from fires. Today, it is known as the Banks Fire District.
The school in Manning, which was part of the Banks School District, closed its doors in 1987.
