The history of Foss began when settlers from the area of the Wilson
post office moved four miles north to the valley of Turkey Creek in the
late 1890s. They initially wanted their new post office to be called
Graham, but since that name was already taken it was named Maharg. A
flash flood on May 2, 1902 wiped out the town on Turkey Creek,
destroying businesses and drowning several people. The town rebuilt
on higher ground and was named Foss. The post office began
operation on September 15, 1900
