History


Zook Spur (or Zookspur) was a mining community, and was named after mining superintendent H. Zook. The Scandia Coal Company operated six mines in the area between 1906 and 1943.[2]

Zook Spur's population was 520 in 1925.[3] A number of cabins were on Zook Spur Place, south of the main intersection. Little remains of the original community.
