History of Patronville
Imagine a time when people sent letters and packages a lot! In 1875, Patronville got its very own post office. This was a big deal because it made it easier for people living there to send and receive mail. A person named Edward P. Harrison was one of the first 'postmasters'. A postmaster is the person in charge of a post office. But after a while, in 1904, the post office closed down. People probably started getting their mail from nearby towns instead.
