History

Pulaski was laid out in 1855 soon after a gristmill has been built at that point.[3] The community took its name from Pulaski County.[4] A post office was established at Pulaski in 1852, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1927.[5]

gollark: This is esolangs. We do not do things manually, unless we do.
gollark: I *will* continue use of `they`, for general convenience and the ability to conveniently ignore gender entirely.
gollark: Your criticism², while interesting, ultimately fails. Consider: you have *responded* to my criticism [see screenshot], despite claiming that this would not occur. This is an evident contradiction.It is also clear that, contra to your original claim #2, gollariosity has *increased* as a result of your actions.
gollark: I wholeheartedly disagree with removal of apioderivative words.1. This is dubious. Current research suggests nonlinear apioformic effects, where high use of apio-derived words leads to increased use due to memetic contamination, rather than a conserved/fixed level of apiodensity.2. I am, in any case, inevitable. Additionally, I do not consider this good.3. This appears to contradict #1 somewhat. We have also proven unable to displace the "apioform"/"bee" meme, despite previous attempts. If you want to remove it, come up with better memetics.
gollark: Wrong.
