The railroad came through in 1873, the village was platted Feb. 20, 1874, on land of August Bambenek, and business started that year. Nick Lehrback opened the first store. Fred Hoesley opened the first hotel and restaurant John Noteman, the first grain buyer, was also the first station agent. The first blacksmith was James Tandutschy.
