A Look Back at Orange's History

Orange once had its own post office. This post office first opened in 1894. It was an important place for people to send and receive their mail in the community.

However, the post office didn't stay open for a very long time. It closed its doors in 1903. This means it was only active for about nine years.

The reason why this community was named "Orange" is not clear. The origin of its name remains a mystery today.
