History on
a Pinhead
Don't bother looking for any 19th Century history. This highway town
"appeared" sometime in the 1980s. It is said that the name may have
come from a nearby petting zoo of the same name. The Wyldwood Baptist
Church appears to be the only noncommercial building visible from
the highway. Signage seems to be a way of life in the community -
and signs probably outnumber residents. Even the traditional green
highway signs designating the place don't agree - so don't place any
bets on the spelling. Our money is on the church sign. |
