VISTA POST OFFICE
1904--1909

 

VISTA was derived from the name of Buena Vista Mason, wife of William Turner Mason, prominent citizen, gin man, and early settler of that area.  Mr. Mason requested that the name of his post office should be "Buena Vista," but since that name was already taken, "Vista" was assigned to the post office. Buena Vista Mason was appointed postmistress on 26 May, 1904. On 30 April, 1909, the Vista Post Office closed and mail was delivered from Evant Vista is thirteen miles south of Hamilton.
