History

Cary was home to a society of both Wesleyan Methodists and Quakers. [1] The Pan Handle Railroad being built a mile away from the community and the founding of the nearby town of Amboy led to Cary becoming a ghost town. [2]

A post office was established at Cary in 1858, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1868. [3]
