Our Founders
In 1874 seven families moving westward in search of their dreamsfound this areaideal for raising their children. With fertile land and water for livestock and crops, Rising Star became their home. The uniquename of the town came much later as the population grew and a mailroute was being established. The Settlers convened to find a suitable name. After deliberation throughout the night without success, they became aware of the morning star twinkling in the sky. This revelationlead to the decision to adopt the name of "RISING Star".
