With gold prospectors arriving in the area and the railroad booming, the first post office was commissioned on November 22, 1895.[5]: 2 The town was incorporated a few years later in 1910,[7] the same year that a new railroad depot was build and a railroad signal was installed[5]: 19-20 . Its namesake was chosen by the town's first telegraph operator which he chose in honor of his hometown in Pennsylvania.
