History
The town was named after Henry Ward Beecher's novel Norwood: or, Village Life in New England. A post office was established at Norwood in 1868 which closed and reopened a few times until it closed permanently in 1914.
Today, the city is considered a ghost town, serving only as a stop on the recreational Midland Railway. The town now consists of one house, one train depot, and public restroom facilities.
