History
Stratton was located on the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad (GM&O). Stratton was founded in 1905 and was formed after the village of Stamper moved to be closer to the railroad. At one point, Stratton was home to a sawmill, four general stores, and a grocery store. The GM&O also formerly operated a siding in Stratton.[2] Stratton was also the former site of a school.[3]
A post office operated under the name Stratton from 1906 to 1956.[4]
