Webster's History
How Webster Began
Webster was officially planned and started, or laid out, in the year 1855. When a community is "laid out," it means that people carefully planned where the streets, homes, and other important buildings would be located. This was a common way for new towns and communities to begin in the 1800s as people moved and settled across the United States.
