Palermo Center Jan 31, 1828 – Aug. 31 1910
There is some indication that there may have been a post office in Palermo Center (formerly Jennings Corners) as early as 1820 but there was a fire in Washington between these dates that destroyed many records. After 1910, mail was delivered from the Fulton Post Office for this area.

Our Post Office at Palermo Center is too be removed, and if the patrons of the office could have influenced the matter, T H Jennings, our present Postmaster, would have been re-appointed for the next four years. Never since the post office was established here has it been in so strict a manner and every one was willing and satisfied to have it remain where it is. But, Mr. Jennings says he does not want the office under a Republican administration, and when Cleveland went out he was ready to go also.

After this post office was closed, the area was served from the Mexico Post Office. The early records indicate that Vermillion was a Post Village, as opposed to a Post Office. I have been told that the difference was that a Post Village could not issue money orders and a Post Office could.

Loomis’ Corners Post Office (?)
A man named Austin was the first Rural Delivery carrier out of the Fulton Post Office, followed by a man named Ford who delivered the mail for many years in this area.
Most of the rural post offices closed about 1908 or shortly after because of tehrual delivery that went into effect.
