The first post office was established as "Licking Summit" in 1825. In 1826, James Freeman became the first postmaster and changed the name to "Hebron Post Office." The H. D. Burch General Store served as the first location for the post office in a portion of the space which was originally located at 118 East Main Street. In 1957, the post office moved a few blocks east to 140 East Main Street. The current post office at 146 North High Street was built and dedicated to the community in 1996.
