The village was founded on the Whitefish branch of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad about 1872 by the Cascade Company, later known as the Escanaba Furnace Company, which built charcoal kilns here and employed a force of men to cut wood. It was given a post office on May 7, 1894, with John Fuhriman as its first postmaster. Informational excerpts from Michigan Place Names, by Walter Romig, L.H.D.
