LYLE Township, organized in 1858, was named in honor of Robert Lyle, a native of Ohio, who settled here in November 1856, was judge of probate for the county, and in 1868 removed to Missouri. Lyle, a city in section 36, platted in 1870, was incorporated March 9, 1875. The post office was established in 1862 with Nathaniel P. Williams, postmaster; then was called Minnereka, 1870-71, with William Shellback as postmaster; and returned to Lyle in 1871, with Thorwald Irgens, postmaster; also known as Lyle Center. It had a station serving several lines, including the Chicago Great Western Railroad.
