A town was established near here in 1897 named Collins. On June 16, 1898, a post office was opened and the town was renamed Collinsville, for Dr. H. H. Collins, surveyor, engineer and local resident.
The initial attraction of this area in the 1890's was the abundant, sulphur-free coal very close to the surface. In the early 1900's the discovery of natural gas fields nearby, and the opening of a large brick plant, increased the town's population. Then, in 1911, a zinc smelting company opened. The town continued to grow into the 1920's. Today, it relies on agriculture to sustain it. Many of the residences built in the early 1900's are still standing today.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.
A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.
If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
