History

A post office was established at Osier in 1898, closed in 1901, reopened in 1910, and closed permanently in 1927.[1] Osier was named from a grove of willow (commonly known as osier) trees near the town site.[3]

gollark: No, I mean the "we do worse things so you can't criticise this somewhat bad thing" thing does not make sense. Unless you want to justify this "PBS" on its own merits, in which case do so, or actually don't as I don't really care.
gollark: That's a very stupid argument, but I'm not sure what to call it.
gollark: You can just not do either.

gollark: It's fuzzily defined, somewhat niche as a concern anyway, and rarely actually encoded into law.
