ORMONDE.

Ormonde was surveyed and platted by T. S. McClanahan, June 5, 1888, B. F. Arnold and W. W. Washburn owning the townsite. The town consists of ten blocks, only six of which were divided into lots. The postoffice at Ormonde, known as Zulu until May 3, 1895, was establish­ ed soon after the building of the railroad. Henry Holgate was the first postmaster, and still serves in that capacity.
