History

A post office was established at Oatsville in 1876, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1903.{{cite web | url=http://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp?task=display&state=IN&county=Pike&searchtext=&pagenum=2 | title=Pike County | publisher=Jim Forte Postal History | access-date=5 October 2015}}

The city is where the infamous Tri-state Tornado finally dissipated at about 4:30pm local time after tracking through Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. The tornado is thought to have been an F5, and was likely at F0-F1 intensity as it dissipated.
