A post office was established in 1855 and McDonough Harkness was its first postmaster. A railroad was also built in the area and the station of Altamont, with a post office founded by Ben Parker that operated from 1884 to 1886.[3][4] Altamont then became Leland in 1888, and Leland's post office was moved to the station, where it closed in 1943.[3]
