History
Breslau got its start following construction of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad through the territory.[2] Breslau was originally built up chiefly by Germans.[3] It was named after Wrocław (known as Breslau in German), formerly in Prussia (in modern-day Poland).[4]
A post office was established in Breslau in 1911, and remained in operation until being discontinued in 1935.[5]
