The Old Post Office

  • Back in 1859, a post office opened in this area. It was first called "Stone Lick."
  • Later, in 1895, the name was changed slightly to "Stonelick," which is what we call it today.
  • However, the post office didn't stay open forever. It closed its doors in 1900.

Where Did the Name Come From?

The name "Stonelick" actually comes from a nearby natural feature. There's a stream or small river in the area called Stonelick Creek, and that's where the community got its name.
