Bethany The name Bethany was first applied to a crossroads trading center about two miles northeast of the current location, where a Presbyterian church stands today.

Gerber helped establish the first post office in the area in 1878, about a mile east of the current Bethany School, and suggested the name Bethany. “Bethany” is a Hebrew word, originally applied to a place in Palestine near Jerusalem, and used as a place name all over the United States, especially in connection with a church.
