History

A post office called Oscar was established on July 25, 1861, with Francis Martin as its postmaster.[2][3] It remained in operation until 1886.[3] Oscar P.O. appears in the 1876 Atlas of Armstrong County, Pennsylvania.[4]

gollark: <@288568024498438145> It's less horribly resource intensive and has a built in mods API.
gollark: Bedrock Edition is waaay better for that, but also wrecks moddability and has many other antifeatures.
gollark: It seems to be the case that Java Edition is just horribly technically unsound.
gollark: I mostly agree. Not sure whether it's just being used to Minecraft, not having any of the various available UI enhancement or whatever mods, or just it being badly designed, but it does seem worse somehow.
gollark: Anyone interested in Mine*test*, an open-source Minecraftish game? I could probably host a server for that. I have to admit it's definitely not as polished, but there seem to be some good mods around for it.https://www.minetest.net/
