A little history: Until 1860 Williamsburg’s mail service was provided by post offices to the east of the village. However, when the Rock Island Railroad reached Marengo that year Williamsburg petitioned to have their own post office, and a gentleman named Homer Paige was named postmaster.
Mr. Paige’s family included three daughters, the youngest named Stella. Her father incorporated her name into the new post office he was to serve and called it “Stellapolis”-“Stella’s City.” The family soon moved to Des Moines but "Stellapolis” was the official name for the Williamsburg post office for 29 years. The name survived in the local Masonic Lodge, Stellapolis Lodge No. 391 until 2023 and now Stellapolis Lofts occupies where the Mason's met.
