A post office was established in the community in 1870, and it was named for a valuable gravel deposit to which the local railroad directed a railway track.[2] on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Lebanon Branch[3][4][5]
The community is home to Penn's Store, the oldest general store in Kentucky.[6]
