In 1870 one of the town’s residents originally from the Netherlands opened a General Store, offering groceries, hardware, dry goods, and the first post office services in the area. The resident-turned-shopkeep’s name was Jacob Munster, who up until ten years earlier had still employed the less Anglicized, more traditional spelling of the family name, Monster.
