Editing Edmore, Michigan (section)

==History==
Edmore was founded and [[plat]]ted by Edwin B. Moore, a [[real estate]] man, in 1878, and named with a contraction of his name. A post office was established on July 22, 1878, with Abraham West as the first postmaster. Its station on the [[Detroit, Lansing and Northern Railroad]] was called "Edmore Junction". It was incorporated as a village in 1879 with Moore as its first president.<ref name="Romig">{{cite book | last = Romig | first = Walter  | year = 1986 | title = Michigan Place Names | orig-year= 1973 | publisher = Wayne State University Press | location = Detroit, Michigan | isbn = 0-8143-1838-X}}</ref>
