A Look Back in Time

Scotch Ridge has a bit of history! A post office was first opened here way back in 1850. It served the community for many years, helping people send and receive letters and packages. However, the post office eventually closed its doors in 1926.

The name "Scotch Ridge" tells us something interesting about the people who first settled here. Many of the early settlers came from Scotland. They brought their heritage and culture with them, and that's how the community got its name. It's a reminder of its Scottish roots!
