The county history of 1881 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Museums hold 5,012 specimens collected within 10 miles of Ancor between 1827 and 1975: 3,204 Fungi, 1,059 Animalia, 376 Plantae, 338 Protozoa, 24 Unrecorded, 11 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by 14753, A. Braun, A. Gaufin 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.
