History

A post office formerly operated in Loomis, but was shut down in 1933. In 1911 a grocery store was established by Joseph Schroeder (1885–1931), an early settler who also served as postmaster, and soon afterward a cheese factory was started by Bonaventura Cubalchini (1885–1948). In 1915, the railroad removed the station agent at Loomis due to the low volume of traffic there, and the depot was removed by the 1970s. The local school in Loomis closed in the 1990s.
