History

Loretto was originally called Loran, in honor of Loran Clark, a pioneer settler, but when it was discovered another town of that name already existed elsewhere in the state, it was renamed Loretto in order to avoid repetition. [5] The present name is after Loreto, in Italy. [6] A post office was established at Loretto in 1888, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1971. [7] [8] A state bank named Loretto State Bank was established in 1909. [9] At its peak in the 1920s Loretto was also home to a cheese factory, several general stores, a butcher shop, and hotel. [10]
