History

Quick City was first planned out in 1886. A man named Morris Quick decided to create this community. He even named it after himself!

When a community is "platted," it means someone drew up a map. This map showed where streets, lots for houses, and other areas would go. It's like designing a neighborhood before building it.

A post office opened in Quick City in 1886. This post office helped people send and receive mail for many years. It stayed open until 1967, when it finally closed down.
