A fire in 1914 badly damaged the town's business district. In the 1920s Freeland Park had two grain elevators, a high school, a Presbyterian church and eight to ten businesses.[3]
A post office was established at Freeland Park in 1901, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1957.[4]
