History
In 1902, a group of men gathered on the island side of False River to come up with a new name for the post office what was designated to be opened in their area. After the community could not agree on a new name, Pierre Guidroz suggested that the new community be named Dupont. A box of Dupont shotgun shells was in full view and the committee decided on that name. After World War II, the post office was closed[1].
