POMARIA
Originally named Countsville, this post office was established in 1823. In 1840, it was renamed Pomaria, probably for William Summer's nearby Pomaria Nursery. By 1851 the Columbia and Newberry Railroad had complete a line through here, and six years later a free school had opened. The town of Pomaria was incorporated in 1903.
Erected by the Bicennetial Commission
