A post office called Brixey was in operation from 1917 to some time early in the 21st century,[4] although its zip code, 65618, is still in use. The country store, in which it was housed, closed at the same time.[5] A variant spelling was "Brixy".[2] The community takes its name from nearby Brixey Creek[6]
