History

The community gets its name from the first post office located in a private residence. Thomas B. Dexter circulated the petition in the winter of 1872-1873 for a Post Office Named Dexter. This was denied as Dexter in southern Kansas had already been established. Undeterred he resubmitted the post office application with the name Home, saying "well it's Home to me!" The post office eventually was moved to its own building, which is now facing possible closure due to postal service austerity measures.
