The county history of 1891 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Museums hold 1,048 specimens collected within 10 miles of Afton between 1866 and 1975: 727 Animalia, 271 Fungi, 38 Plantae, 11 Protozoa, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A JOHN, A JOHN AND R KNOTTS, A JOHN AND T RITTER and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
