It got it's name from a telegraph operator's shoe. She was testing the equipment, and the recepient asked the name, and she gave the brand name from her shoe. It was a railroad community, with a stop in town. As time went on, if they wanted a ride on a train, they had to flag it down. The town originally had two hotels, a bar, and many other things. The town now is a farming community, or residents working for a power plant 20-25 miles away, or retired people. Submitted by: Susan Aycock
