Owen County Post Office Locations
Over time, there have been 75 differently named post offices in Owen County, listed below.
The peak in Owen County was in 1901-02, when there were 37 active post offices. But better roads, the automobile, and rural free delivery came together to eliminate lot of them. 1903 to 1920 saw a lot of consolidation.
The USPS has a web site here, that lists every postmaster in the history of some, current and past post offices. As of this writing in fall of 2018, they listed Owenton, New Liberty, Pery Park, Wheatley, Hesler, and Gratz.
Here is a chart that will give you a vague idea of how many post offices were open in any given year between the first (Mouth of Cedar Ceek, 1816) and now.
