About Marengo

Marengo is a former community in northeastern Hayes County, at about 2,980 feet, about 10½ miles north-northeast of Hayes Center.

History

The Marengo post office opened on May 23, 1891, and closed in the mid-1930s (1934 or 1935). Accounts of the name differ: one says the petitioners asked for Suttler, after an old settler and Suttler Canyon, and the Post Office Department gave them Marengo instead; another says it was borrowed from a Marengo in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio or Wisconsin.
