Before Johnson City was a city, this little village was home to a post office in the 19th century called the Blue Plum Post Office. The post office - along with the rest of "Johnson's Depot" in the village - was founded by entrepreneur Henry Johnson. 

The Blue Plum Post Office was located near the train stop at what's now the corner of Buffalo Street and West State of Franklin Road. Johnson was postmaster and would later become the founder and npmesake of modern day Johnson City with its incorporation by the state in 1869.
