History
[ edit ]
Osborn is located on the Kansas City Southern Railway .[2] [3]
A post office operated under the name Osborn from 1884 to 1949.[4]
In 1960, seven black men from Little Rock used a restroom at Weaver's Amoco in Osborn, where there was only one restroom, which was for whites only. They were arrested at Mayhew Junction in Lowndes county, and required to pay a $200 per person bond. According to the law, they each faced a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a fine of $500. The case was widely anticipated as the first test of the state's sit-in law, but was settled when the defendants unexpectedly pleaded guilty and paid a small fine in Starkville the next day.[5] [6]
