History
on a Pinhead
Although
no population figures are available for this tiny place, it did
have a school, church and even a factory at one time. It was named
for the deposits of slate along the Red River at this point – and
most probably the factory was engaged in making roofing shingles.
Although there is no town center and the community dispersed, the
name continues to be used on maps.
