History

Rubio was founded in 1900 when the Milwaukee Railroad was built through the area. Rubio was named after Mexican statesman Pascual Ortiz Rubio, [4] who would later become the president of Mexico.

The Rubio Savings Bank opened in Rubio in 1906; the main office moved to Brighton in 1946. [5]

In 1910 the Rubio School opened. The two-classroom school operated until 1960; enrollment at that time was 10 students. The building was sold at auction in 1962 and was torn down; the floor joists were later used in a house in Richland. [6]

The Rubio Lawn Social and Jubilee, held in conjunction with the American Bicentennial, was held on August 7 and 8, 1976. Activities included a postal award ceremony and a parade. [7] [8]
