Etymology

The early settlers of Sereno named the community Serena, meaning “a clean, respectable place”. However, when establishing a post office they discovered a place by that name already existed in Missouri, so the name was changed to Sereno. [3]

History

In 1884, Thomas Moore gave a small tract of his land along Chester Road to William Mattingly for the purpose of building a general store, which was soon followed by a grist mill. [4] A post office operated from 1888 to 1905. [5] The predominantly Catholic town established Our Lady of Victory Catholic parish in 1908. [6]
