A Sarvicecreek post office was established here in 1918. Rosa Mae Tilley was the first postmaster. Later in the year, the name was changed to Servicecreek and changed again to Service Creek in 1929. The post office closed in 1956.[3]
From 1908 through the mid-1940s, Service Creek had a one-room schoolhouse that doubled as a community center and church. The building was demolished in the late 1940s or early 1950s to make room for highway improvements.[4]
