The story

How Cadiz came to be

From Wikipedia’s history of Cadiz.

Read it all →

Cadiz was laid out and platted in 1836, and named after Cadiz, Ohio, the former home of many of the early settlers. A post office was established at Cadiz in 1837, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1923.
