[edit] History

Barlow is named for William Barlow, the son of Samuel K. Barlow (developer of the Barlow Road). Samuel bought the donation land claim in which Barlow is located from Thomas McKay on September 17, 1850. He later sold the land to William.^[1]

In 1870, the railroad was built through Barlow. The station was originally named Barlows (for William, not Samuel). As of 2003, the main line of the Southern Pacific Railroad still ran through Barlow.^[1]

The post office at Barlow was opened on February 7, 1871. It closed on January 3, 1975.^[1]
