The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗A post office called Berger has been in operation since 1856. The town site was not platted until 1870. The community has the name of Casper Berger, an early settler.
Berger has some history as a place where mules were raised for the 2nd world war. An extensive mule farm is said to have been there, and supplied much of the needed beasts of burden for the war effort.
