What came first "Branson" or the "city of Branson?"

The name "Branson," as used to refer to an international tourist destination people have been coming to for over a century and the city of "Branson," comes from the name of its first post office. The post office was inside a general store located near the mouth of Roark Creek and the White River. It was named after Ruben S. Branson who established the store at that location in 1882. The city of Branson was not incorporated until April 1, 1912.
