The Telbasta post office ran from March 17, 1890, to September 20, 1900; the origin of the name is not known. In 1921 it was a small hamlet with a store. Salem Lutheran Church was founded in 1860 by German immigrants and is still an active country congregation.
A few miles northeast, the Nero post office opened in 1871, was renamed Vacoma in 1882 and closed in 1901; only the Vacoma Cemetery remains.
