History[edit]

It might be interesting to have a history section. I don't have a source, so I can't edit the article. A couple of things I read, I think back in the 1980's: European settlers called the place "Hammond's Ford." It was larger in the early 20th century. A rail line used to be there (or nearby) and it had a grain elevator. 206.9.209.183 (talk) 21:02, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you could find where you read that, it could be a source. By the way, you don't have to log in to edit, but there are advantages in doing so. Jonathunder (talk) 21:37, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
