History
The name of the town was once Springville. During the town's early history, a large group of wild turkey moved into the area, and the people regarded that as a sign. The town's post office sometimes has received mail intended for the Republic of Turkey. At one time, the post office received letters from stamp collectors asking for a Thanksgiving Day postmark. Cherrydale and the Hollingsworth-Hines Farm were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
