Joseph Gerroir established a roadhouse for travelers, and it remained the only building in the area for decades. Around 1900, more Acadian families from Larry's River moved to the area to harvest firewood. A school house was built in 1915. Forestry remained the primary industry of the area. The population in 1956 was 64.
