On March 8, 1835, the Walnut Camp Post Office was established,[1] which was discontinued on October 9, 1856[2] then reopened as Birdeye Post Office on March 24, 1904.[3] It was renamed because African-American plantation workers attended a church that they called "the Bird's Eye View Church".[4] It was shut down sometime before 2008 and was replaced by a restaurant and store.[5]
