The local economy was based on farming and logging, with a focus on shingle production in part due to its proximity to Salmon Creek, which was used to float the shingles to the Cowlitz River near Toledo.^[2][7] The town was once connected to Toledo by the use of a plank road.^[2]

The community had a school and was part of district no. 68. Enrollment was small, with 1903 reports listing between 9 and 14 students.^[8][9][10]
