History

A settlement had grown up near Thornburg by 1878–79, down the creek from Carrico; the first filers were Daniel Fuller, Michael Brennen and Joab Copeland. The post office opened in 1881, moved to Frontier County in 1888, came back to Hayes County in 1924 and closed on December 15, 1924. Because the office was in Frontier County for 36 years, some records file it there.
