History
Siberia was platted in 1869.[3] According to legend, the town was originally going to be named Sabaria, after the place where Saint Martin of Tours was born. However, a Post Office Department employee designated the new community as Siberia, thinking "Sabaria" was a misspelling and the platter was referring to Siberia, a region of Russia, and the name stuck.[4]
A post office was established at Siberia in 1883, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1983.[5]
