Garfield County was opened to homesteading between 1910 and 1920.  This brought over 7,000 people to the county at a time when transportation was very poor.  Rather that trying to travel to get their mail, the homesteaders requested that there be a post office in their community.

Many of the post offices were in the corner of someone's home and would change locations as people got tired of the job, or moved out of the community.

It is planned that in the future there will be a linkable page for each of the post offices with a history, pictures of the country side at that location, and historical pictures.  If you have pictures, or information, about any of these post offices please contact the  Garfield County Historical Society.
