History on
a Pinhead
Although settlement
in the area dates to the early 19th century, there was no community
as such until the mid 1920s. The community was the brainchild of one
Clarence Ayers who at that time was president of the American Life
Insurance Company. The company sponsored initial development. It was
named after the California city of the same name.
The 1940 census showed forty residents being served by two stores
and five years later it had acquired ten additional residents. It
is now considered a "dispersed rural community" with a count of 83
people for the 2010 census. |
