Today we’re talking about a town that's history takes us to a time where innovation of new ideas was flourishing. Post City wasn’t just any old town—it was named after Charles William Post, or C.W. Post for short. Does his name sound familiar? That’s because he’s the guy behind the famous cereal company, Post! Yep, the same company that makes Fruity Pebbles and Honeycomb Cereal.
