Cherry's post office was established March 3, 1884 and discontinued March 15, 1943. At one time 6 mills were in operation to serve the over 40 mines in the vicinity of Cherry. There were over 400 residents to serve the mines. Cherry had its beginning in the early 1860's and had a town of about 100 until the mines played out in 1879.Then Cherry lived on as a stage stop until the Jerome bonanza made the district attractive. Promoters established the city that had the post office and today summer homes dot the countryside.
