History
Antrim was laid out in 1830.[2] The community was named after County Antrim, now in Northern Ireland, the ancestral home of a share of the first settlers.[3] A post office was established at Antrim in 1830, and remained in operation until 1957.[4]
In 1890, the Antrim Presbyterian Church opened which remains to this day. There is also another church called the Antrim United Methodist Church. Antrim also has had a volunteer fire department since 1948 which servers over 180 sq miles.[5]
