History

Most of the early pioneers settled in the area known as the Town of Chase between the years of 1873-1877. Many came from Canada and Germany. The land they settled during this time was called West Pensaukee. One of the first pioneers to settle in the area was John Rymer. In 1876, the settlers organized the first school near Neal Rymer’s farm. The settlers of West Pensaukee used the post office in Pensaukee, but they wanted a closer one. Carl Meyer walked to Pensaukee and picked up a petition to circulate in West Pensaukee.

Carl Meyer’s son, Charlie was sent around to get signatures.The petition was then sent to the government. The government wrote back, and said they would have to continue to carry the mail for one year. After that year had passed, the government built a post office in Levi Cleveland’s house, which became Charles Peter’s place. The depot operator by the name of Mr. Morgan was asked to sign papers for the post office. The settlers asked him how much money he wanted for signing the papers. He told them, if they would call the post office Morgan, there would be no charge. Around 1902, the Town of Chase was divided and the Town of Morgan was formed, naming it after their post office. The first town chairman was O.C. Madison, and the first cheese factory built in the town was constructed by Charley Birr.
