This area was named simply because it was on the Pearce homestead.

It was also the home of the Iron Dyke Mine whose promoters had the town
platted and incorporated, as they planned a great future in copper production.

A slump in the market in 1928 closed the mine and caused the railroad to
pull their lines back to Robbinette, thus adding another ghost town to
Baker County history.

J. H. Pearson was the first postmaster.
