We enjoy visiting the Clark County community known as Felida. Its name has an interesting story too. When the Post Office was established in 1890, the name Powley was submitted to honor an area resident. The name was denied, but the Post Office suggested instead, "Polly." The postmaster thought the name sounded like a parrot and remarked, "they might as well name the post office after my cat." Therefore, he submitted "Thomas," the cat's name, as well as, "Tomcat, and "Felidae," Latin for big cats. Felida was approved!Felida, long known for its pastoral settings, is changing because many of the area's farms were purchased by developers in recent years. Therefore, farmlands have been replaced with large subdivisions. Homes on larger parcels are generally resale, as most builders tend to m... 03/20/2017
