The settlement was formerly incorporated in 1888 by brothers Reuben and Ambrose Oldman, in hope that a railroad would come through the area along White River. Ambrose was involved in oil speculation in the area and ran a store on Piceance Creek until 1895, when he moved to Meeker.[3][4] There was a schoolhouse in 1902.[5]
