History

Local tradition holds that the first postmaster assembled a group of people to suggest a name. All were talking at the same time, and one person kept saying "I know." The group proposed to call the post office "I know", but spell it Ino. [2] [3] The post office was established in 1894, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1907. [4]
