History

A post office called Woodhull was established in 1864, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1904.[3] The community was named for Nathaniel Woodhull, a military general in the American Revolutionary War[4] or possibly for John Woodhull, the deputy postmaster at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin at the time.[5]
