A short history of Herman

Herman was platted in 1875, and named for Herman Trott, a railroad official. A post office has been in operation at Herman since 1872.

Herman is known for a 1994 campaign inviting women to meet its 78 bachelors. The story, dubbed "bachelormania", drew worldwide recognition and was adapted into the film Herman U. S. A.
