Though you’d hardly notice it today, Pretoria was once a busy crossroad village, anchored by nearby plantations. It had a post office from 1900-1917 and was incorporated in 1907. It was named for the South African city. It was never much more than a crossroads, but there were at least two stores at one time. The old Pretoria Station, which was recently demolished, and this store, which I believe is still standing.
