When Cass County was first opened for settlement there was an immediate response. The area increased in population rapidly. A number of towns never went beyond the paper stage....Filing of papers. Other towns were rapidly formed and survived for several years. The ability to attract a rail line was the basis for survival of those towns.
In the year 1885 there were 12 Precincts of Cass County.
| Precincts | Post Offices |
| Salt Creek | Greenwood |
| South Bend | South Bend |
| Louisville | Louisville |
| Eight Mile Grove | Cedar Creek, *Concord |
| Plattsmouth | Plattsmouth |
| Greenwood | none |
| Elmwood | *Mainland, *Luella, *Bushberry |
| Center | *Eight Mile Grove |
| Mt. Pleasant | *Center Valley |
| Rock Bluff | *Three Groves, Eight Mile Grove |
| Tipton | *Andrusville, *Sunlight |
| Stove Creek | Elmwood |
| Weeping Water | *Eight Mile,*Victoria |
| Avoca | *Center Valley, Avoca |
| Liberty | *Mt. Pleasant, Union, Nehawka, *Union Mills, *Factoryville |
I think that we can accept the fact that all of the towns now existing
in Cass county had a Post Office in this time period and there were other
post offices mentioned at various times.
