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 1,782 specimens collected within 10 miles of Fort Scott between 1819 and 1975: 969 Fungi, 520 Animalia, 173 Plantae, 104 Protozoa, 9 Chromista, 6 Unrecorded, 1 Bacteria. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A Schwartz, A. P. Morgan, A. T. C 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.
