1880 HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY MICHIGAN
Cohoctah Post Office
Page 455

The post-office, now located in Cohoctah, bears the name of the town. It was first called Tuscola, and was established some thirty years ago, at the house of Hiram L. Stoddard, who was the first postmaster. It was turned over at the time of his death (1857-58) to his brother Eliel. Then came other postmasters in the following order: Alva Jones, Marcus Burkhart, Robert Wrigglesworth; all of whom kept the office at their residences, in the northeast part of the town. At this time (1874) the office was moved to the village, and Jason McFail was appointed as postmaster. He was succeeded in 1876 by D. B. Harrington, and he by the present incumbent, Cyrus G. Hayner, in the spring of 1877. The name was changed from Tuscola to Cohoctah in the winter of 1857. Both this office and the one at Chemungville--the only offices in the town--are on the Howell and Linden route, and receive two mails per week, on Tuesdays and Fridays.
