Creston was the name given to James Emmet Lewis' post office on the present Ky 70, one mile northwest of the Adair County line and seven and a half miles wsw of Liberty, when postal authorities rejectied the preferred name of Mays Chapel. The office, which was established on March 1, 1905, closed in 1983. A store, two churches, and the new Phillips Elementary School survive. The Creston name defies explanation ; there are no records of families of this name in the county.
Creston Post Office, Casey County (1905-1983)
