History
A post office called Hereford was in operation from 1830 to 2019. The community took its name from Hereford Township. It was previously known as Treichlersville.
At the end of March 2019 the post office closed on very short notice because the owner refused to renew the lease. The post office has since moved from the same building as Turkey Hill to the fire station building.
