History

Langworthy was platted in 1858 by Col. W. T. Shaw.[3]

Langworthy's post office was established on 25 January 1875 and discontinued on 18 January 1974, at which time it was attached to the Monticello post office.[4] Although its post office is gone, Langworthy retains its own ZIP Code, 52252.[5]

gollark: I don't think so. But IIRC he said he *might* continue to, although we resolved that in the conference.
gollark: I don't know if he did say directly "please don't", although I'd think being blocked is a fairly strong signal.
