The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Barnard was platted on April 10, 1870. The city was named for a railroad superintendent named Barnard, though the exact name is in dispute, either J. F. Barnard or B. F. Barnard. Originally the post office was in nearby Prairie Park, but in 1871 it moved to Barnard.
