History

Indian village that began with a trading post and riverboat landing to supply the mining area to the north. This settlement, originally called "Moose Village" was located near the mouth of Moose Creek, but subsequently has moved to this location about 1.5 miles upstream. The Stony River post office was established in 1935 (Ricks, 1965, p. 61). See Moose Village.
