In the early days of Kimble County, Len and Bettie Lewis established their ranch as a trade center, and Bettie received most area mail at their home, the Lewis Hotel and Wagon Yard. In 1882 Bettie applied to formalize her postal station and became the first postmaster of the new London post office. Because of its central location and good roads, London became the direct route between Mason and Junction City. This site replaced an earlier post office near the town square. By 1997, 14 postmasters had served London in 115 years.
