Osborn, also spelled Osburn, is a small place in Perry County, Alabama, in the United States. It is known as an unincorporated community. This means it doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town. Instead, it is managed by the county.
A Glimpse into Osborn's Past
Osborn might be a quiet place today, but it has a little bit of history. For a short time, it even had its own post office.
The Osburn Post Office
From 1903 to 1905, a post office operated in this community. It was called "Osburn," with a "u" instead of an "o." Post offices were very important back then. They helped people send and receive letters and packages. This was how people communicated over long distances. Even though the post office closed, it shows that people lived and worked in Osborn over a hundred years ago.
