History

The settlement began in 1854 or 1856, when William B. Elliott opened a blacksmith's shop.^[3]^[5] About ten years later, in 1866, a man named Bukofsky built a store, followed by another blacksmith shop built by Caspar Sweikert. A hotel was started by Henry Taylor. A grist mill was built in 1858 until it closed in 1867. A second grist mill was built in 1875.
