The Story of Nettleton's Post Office

Nettleton once had its own post office, which is where people would send and receive mail. Before February 1878, this post office was known by a different name: Fitchburgh.

The post office in Nettleton opened its doors for the first time in 1877. However, it didn't stay open for long, closing just five years later in 1882. It was then reopened in 1903, but closed again quickly in 1904. The post office had one more chance, opening again in 1912, but it closed permanently in 1917.
