History

Breslau had its start by the building of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad through that territory.[2] Breslau was originally built up chiefly by Germans.[3] It was named after Breslau, formerly in Prussia (in modern-day Poland).[4]

A post office was established in Breslau in 1911, and remained in operation until it was discontinuted in 1935.[5]
