Participants were selected by UCO branch Was called Slabtown By MRS. HUGH MORENZ SHIPKA Your correspondent had an enquiry from a lady in London asking if I knew how Shipka received its name. She says a post office was opened July 1, 1878 and she suspects the name was chosen at that time, but wonders who named it or why Shipka was chosen. She goes on to say it was a very new community in 1878 and was known as Slabtown, from the piles of slabs, a by­ product of the saw mills, es- tablished about 1875. Frederick Heitzman was the first postmaster. Not having been born and raised in this area, I don’t know the back history, and was unaware a post office existed here.
