The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

Mulberry was founded about 1875 as a mining town. Mulberry was named from a grove of wild mulberry trees that stood on a former Indian camping and hunting site, where the town was laid out.

The first post office at Mulberry (called Mulberry Grove until 1892) was established in 1869.

Nothing in Mulberry is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Mulberry has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Franklin Sidewalk in Washington, 4.9 miles away.

How a place gets listed

1Talk to the stateEvery nomination goes through the State Historic Preservation Office. Owners, towns and historical societies can start one.
2Try a local or state list firstMany states keep their own register with a shorter form, a common first step for old barns, halls and schoolhouses.
3Write it upA nomination covers the history, photos and a map. Franklin Sidewalk’s page links to a real one.
