History

Two versions of who created the town exist. A manager of the Hill Logging Company, Harry J. Syverson, asserted in 1912 to have founded the town[4] however there are sourced claims that a local businessman, Curt Littell, agreed to call the post office under his name in 1902.[5] A post office was moved from the nearby town of Claquato in 1903 and an opera house was built in the town in 1904.[6]
