Woodson County Post Offices
During the fifty years time from when the first postoffice was
established in a log cabin on the north side of the Neosho River in
1857 and called Neosho Falls, until the Rural Free Delivery was
established in 1907, there have been 34 different postoffices
established in Woodson County. There are now only four of of these
postoffices left in the county: namely, Neosho Falls, Piqua, Yates
Center, and Toronto. A list of these postoffices, dates established,
year closed, and the first postmaster of each are listed.
