History
Growing quickly at first because of the grist mill, dam and bridge built in 1879, the community lasted only a few years. A creamery, general store, blacksmith, and several residences surrounded the mill. Today the area is a county park. For a time, it was named Chochrane's Mills, reflecting the owner of the mills.
