Sanborn's Story: A Look Back

Sanborn was named after a person named J. E. Sanborn. He was the first owner of the land where this community was started.

In 1906, a post office was opened in Sanborn. A post office is a very important place where people can send and receive letters and packages. It helps connect a community to the rest of the world.

However, the post office in Sanborn didn't stay open forever. It closed down in 1929. After that, the community slowly faded away. Today, there isn't much left of the original Sanborn. It's mostly just a memory of a place that once was.
