Harvey N. Underwood - Kodak Postmaster - May 5, 1892

The Post Office in Kodak began in 1892. At that time, Harvey N. Underwood was granted a charter for a new post office to be located in a store that he was building. Since he was to be the first postmaster, Harvey Underwood was to decide what name to give this new post office. As the deadline to inform postal officials neared, a name still had not been selected. One Sunday Harvey and his wife sat around the house most of the day trying to decide what name to give the new post office. About dark that same day, Harvey left the house and walked toward the new store. As he walked, he saw a small box lying on the ground. He kicked it over and saw the word "KODAK." He decided right there that this would be the name. It ws short, easy to pronouce and easy to spell. -- Kodak, TN 1892-1992 - Historical Cookbook; pg. 3, sponsored by: Jake L. Gilreath.
