Used to be a railroad stop town. Population plummeted when railroad redirected away from the town. Several abandoned store fronts and an abandoned grain elevator all in extremely poor condition. Town school has been converted to a home after it was closed and consolidated with nearby schools. Current population is around 40. Not sure of dates or further history as this town has been a ghost town since before I was born. Submitted by: Jamie Van Peursem
