James C. Bargsley is credited as being the first resident. Bargsley
had built a cabin here in 1880. E. T. Bradford open a store sometime before 1890
– the year a post office was opened inside the store. By 1910 there were 30 residents
which soared to 75 by the 1920 census. By 1930 it was down to only 20 people and
that year the post office closed. No other figures are available.
