This town was settled in the spring of 1851. At that time it was called Summit Creek.. Due to Indian hostilities the settlers were forced to leave their homes. In 1858 Summit Creek was permanently settled. The name was changed in 1875 to its present name.
In 1882, on this site a Relief Society building was erected.
It was a one room structure, 20x30 feet in size, built of red clay brick made by Joseph Chatwin. The interior was furnished with homemade carpet, a potbelly stove, chairs and benches made of native lumber, an organ and a small table. At one end was a stage with curtains. The building was sold to the city for a public library.
The old fort and school bell served the community until 1917. The bell rang for school, alarms and special events.
