History

The local post office was first established as Merino (for the nearby Mt. Merino Seminary) on February 16, 1885. However, two area businessmen, R.M. Jolly and Edgar L. Bennett, anticipating the route of the Louisville, St. Louis, and Texas Railroad, purchased 315 acres (127 ha) of farmland at the site and then, with the help of the railroad’s employees, platted a new community over the 1888–89 winter. This was named for Irvington, New York, the hometown of the railroad’s chief engineer, Eugene Cornwall. Irvington was formally incorporated by the state assembly in 1889.

In 1933, Holy Guardian Angel Roman Catholic church was moved from nearby Mount Merino to High Street. The move was made when the church at Mount Merino needed too many repairs and it was decided to move closer to the population center.
