- Later the settlement was called Coulthard's Corners and then Monticello. In 1836 the post office opened as Mariposa even though the settlement was still known as Coulthard's Corners.
- In 1857, a public meeting chose Manilla as the name of the community and its post office. Manilla was the name of a place in the U. S. state of Indiana, believed to have been named after Manila in the Philippines.
