The county history of 1884 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Museums hold 250 specimens collected within 10 miles of Seal between 1885 and 1975: 236 Animalia, 13 Fungi, 1 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Allen, J. M., Blyth & Katz, Blyth, D. (David) & Katz, D. (David) 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.
