COMMENTS: The "town" died, although the homes are still occupied, when automobiles allowed locals to drive into Chico to shop. The site is on the Nord- Cannah Highway.
REMAINS: vacant store buildings, occupied houses
This was a small farming town on the railroad until the stores closed. After people had cars it became cheaper to drive into Chico to shop the large stores. Submitted by: Grant Johnston
