History

This small town was settled in its present place because it was at the bottom of a basin, so to speak, which helped protect them from the harsh winter winds. Native Americans came and helped settle the village, in an attempt to make peace with the settlers and have shelter for the winter as well.

Incorperation

The settlers incorporated the town through multiple layings, as well as the Native Americans (so as to not violate Wikipedia policies).
