A Look Back at Terry
Terry once had its own post office. A post office is where people send and receive mail. This post office was opened in 1892.
It stayed open for many years, helping the local people. However, the post office closed down in 1943. A historian named Ronald L. Baker believes the name "Terry" likely came from a local family who settled there a long time ago.
