Talk:Gifford, Idaho

Seriously
"The community had a post office as of 1908." Any status updates after nearly 110 years ago? &mdash; JJ Be  rs  23:24, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Someone added that the post office closed in 1965. Looking at Google Maps, there's no town there. There are a few agricultural installations (grain towers, a truck yard), some farming, and a few gravel roads. The ag operation looks well-maintained, and there are a few houses. The streets still exist, as gravel roads - 1st St, 2nd St, 3rd St, and College St. The town's buildings are long gone and the sites leveled and cleaned up. It looks like there was a park, once. Looks like modern, successful agriculture - few people needed. Google Street View didn't stop there; they just drove past on the main road. John Nagle (talk) 05:25, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * It looks like more of a cluster of farms these days, but the county historical society still considers it a town, so I'm inclined to agree with them in the absence of more reliable evidence. Of course, the line between a cluster of farms and a town is pretty fuzzy for sparse rural communities; I take a pretty broad view of what counts as a town, but I understand why other people don't.
