A Look Back at Plum Tree
Plum Tree got its unique name from a large, wild plum tree that grew in the area. Unlike many towns, Plum Tree was never officially planned out on a map with specific streets and building lots.
A post office was opened in Plum Tree in 1876. A post office is a place where people can send and receive letters and packages. This helped the community stay connected. However, the post office closed its doors in 1893.
