Discovering Medoc's History

Medoc was officially planned out and mapped in the year 1856. This process is called 'platting'. The community was named after the Medoc Indians, a group of Native American people.

Even before it was formally planned, a post office opened in Medoc in 1854. This post office was very important for the people living there, helping them send and receive mail. It stayed open for many years, finally closing down in 1927.
