History
A post office called T.B. was established in 1860, and remained in operation until 1914.[3] So Thomas Brooke, an early settler owned this land and it was the border symbolized with his initials,[4][5] while others believe partners William Townshend and Mr. Brooke each etched his respective last initial into stone at the original town site.[4] TB has been noted for its unusually short place name.[6][7]
