Inscription. Shoal Creek area ranchers and Clover Valley residents built a fort here during the Indian War in 1866. Later a village developed consisting of a church/school house, telegraph office, store and about twelve houses. Most residents engage in freighting and stock raising. Residents sold their water and property to the Enterprise Irrigation Company for building the Enterprise Reservoirs. This, floods, drought, disunity and earthquakes brought an end with most residents moving to Enterprise.
