1837 Proposal of Mail Route to Yorktown
| NEW MAIL SERVICE The state of Indiana considers a proposal for a three day-a-week mail service from Indianapolis to Greenville, Ohio via Munceytown and Yorktown in 1837. Mail service had been established in Yorktown in 1836. Muncie had established service in 1828. Others came later—Daleville 1857, Cammack 1882, Reed 1876. This would be an increase in services. |
