	 George Grebe established a post office in his house in Perry 
township on 09 January 1871, and it was given the name of Centre Ridge. 
Grebe had also established a general store in his home in 1870 and was the 
first store and post office in Perry township. He was postmaster at Centre 
Ridge until taken over by Joshua Blakeley, 12 May 1875. Grebe again was 
postmaster on 12 February 1877, and kept it until 29 January 1891, when 
Angela Tuttle became postmaster. He was postmaster until he resigned on 20 
December 1894, and the name was changed to Ridge. The name Centre was changed 
to Center during the postmastership of Tuttle.
