History
The community was reportedly founded by the Toll family, who were English emigrants. Founding families also included the Claytons and the Foots. Lord Thomas Marsh Horsfall, a local Englishman and entrepreneur, owned much of this prairie ground in the late 1880s.[2] Many residents worshiped at an Episcopal Church (St. Peter's on the Prairie) that was erected in 1904.[3]
