History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

Colony was originally called Kentucky Colony, and under the latter name settlement was made in the early 1840s by some of the first settlers in the county, a group of four or five pioneer families from Kentucky, about two miles northeast of the present site of Colony. A post office called Colony was established in 1848, and remained in operation until 1907.
