The Story of McBride
The village of McBride is named after Alexander B. McBride. He was a settler who came from Wayne County, New York. In 1874, he built a sawmill in this area.
A railroad station nearby was called "McBride's Mill." The post office, named "McBrides," opened on March 26, 1878. Alexander McBride himself became the first postmaster.
The village was officially mapped out, or "platted," by D. L. Jacobs in 1877. Another small settlement next to it, called "Custer," was platted by Phipps Wado in 1878. However, Custer later became part of McBride when the village officially became a town in 1883.
