The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The Burlington Railroad reached the area of Berea in 1889, and railroad support facilities, including a water tower and section house, were built on the site. The town was founded by a group of settlers, originally from Ohio, who named their new home after Berea, Ohio.
In 1890–91, the town had a population of 50, and a general store, newspaper, and post office; five years later, a school and community hall had been added.
