Inscription. Enterprise is a continuation of Hebron located on Shoal Creek, a short distance up the mountain. In 1862 Charles and John Pulsipher and others brought their families to the village. In May 1892 Orson W. Huntsman made a plan to impound the flood waters of Shoal Creek. He acquired 320 acres, had it surveyed into city lots and called the town Enterprise. Five families came in 1896: William W. Hall, Anson P. Winsor, J.B. Morris, E.T. Adair, C.S. Fackrell. From 1903 to 1995 people from Hebron moved to the new settlement. John Day was first postmaster.
