In 1979, the town was established as an unincorporated town. During this period, the land belonged entirely to the Hester family, who also owned a restaurant, motel, and gas station. With a population of just about 35 people, the county commissioners saw it fit to develop the town and to build a grand casino motel. This plan never came to fruition, eventually leading to the town’s dissolution in 2001.
