The Story of Warrington
Warrington was first planned out by a person named John Oldham. He created the first maps for the community in 1834. This process is called "platting."
Later, in 1849, a post office opened in Warrington. It helped people send and receive mail for many years. The post office stayed open until 1919, when it closed down.
