The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Although the area was first settled in the 1870s, the town site at Cotesfield was not built up until 1902. It was named for Miss Coates, the travel companion of the daughter of Christopher C. Augur, a Department of the Platte official.
A post office was established at Cotesfield in 1871, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1996.
