History
The Denver & Rio Grande Railroad constructed its San Juan Extension through the area in 1882. About 1894 a lumberman, E.M. Biggs, bought 40 acres from a ranch owned by Francisco Lobato, and laid out the townsite, naming it for the sawmills which he built there. A post office was established in 1894, which closed on January 28, 1995. Biggs also built extensive logging railroads north and south, the last of which were removed by 1928 when the marketable timber had been exhausted. The D&RG also closed and was removed in 1969.
