History

Local lore indicates that the community was so named in the mid 19th century, founded by the local population of coal miners. Previously, however, it was locally known as "Pompey Smash", the origin of which is commonly believed to have come from a slave named Pompey crashing his wagonload of coal.[3] A main road through the village still bears the name "Pompey Smash Road".

A paved road reached the town circa 1921, from Clarysville, along Route 40.
