History on a Pinhead

Settled in the 1870s (late in Fayette County history), Stella had a post office by 1880 when it officially known as Stellar.

A store had opened by 1900, serving a population scattered along the sandy prairie. Both the store and post office closed in 1909. The people moved to more prosperous parts of the county and the land has only produced sand and gravel ever since.
