A Look Back: The History of St. Peter
St. Peter wasn't always called St. Peter! Long ago, this community had a different name: Hoganville. Imagine a time when letters were sent by post office. Hoganville had its own post office, which opened in 1894. But after a while, in 1920, the post office closed down. Back in 1910, about 50 people lived in Hoganville.
