Due to water and terrain, pioneer trails and wagon roads converged at this point. First inn to accommodate travellers [sic] was opened here by Proctor & Co. in June, 1849. The following year a two-story hotel was built by James D. Taber and John L. Tanner.
After 1870, this area was also called Keystone because of the nearby Keystone House erected by William H. Field.
