History

Economy was laid out and platted in 1825. The town was named by the original landowner, Charles Osborn, who thought of laying out the town into lots as the most “economical” way of selling off his property, hence the name Economy.

The Economy post office has been in operation since 1827. Economy is mentioned in the Stephen King novel The Stand.
