Platte County Post Offices and Rural Mail Routes Chronicle
Platte County's mail service began in 1857 with a post office soon after. By 1860 there were 25 post offices, 24 in 1884, then a decline as roads improved. Rural routes formed in 1904, closing several offices including Woodburn. The name Woodburn likely comes from abundant river area firewood.
