History
Manchester was founded as a lumber center.[2] The Manchester Lumber Company owned a large amount of the surrounding timber land and built a school and Baptist church for the community.[3] Much of the lumber produced in Manchester was used to make flatboats, which were used to transport coal.[4] For a short time, the Manchester Coal Company mined coal in the area.[5]
A post office operated under the name Manchester from 1907 to 1957.[6]
In popular culture
Manchester is listed as the hometown of the comic book superhero Impulse.[7]
