History
The area was originally known as Fleatown and was the location of the historic Fleatown Inn from circa 1740 until it was torn down in April, 1895.[2] The community housed two taverns on the Old State Road that served stagecoaches and travelers on the road from Milford to Georgetown, but the taverns closed and the community faded after the Junction and Breakwater Railroad depot was built in Ellendale in 1866.[3]
gollark: I did not.
gollark: This is NOT true. I have not in any way been sponsored by pizza companies. There have been no advertising agreements whatsoever with any companies producing pizza or otherwise to have me subliminally advertise pizza, as my profile picture is not a pizza. Since it is not a pizza, this is obviously not pizza advertisement whatsoever. No monetary exchanges or otherwise have occurred with companies engaged in pizza production for any reason relating to my profile picture. You are clearly engaged in libel and attempting to discredit my non-pizza-advertising status. It is IN NO WAY subliminal pizza advertising because I DO NOT work for pizza companies in any form. It's not pizza. There were no deals, under-the-table or otherwise, with pizza companies. No pizza companies pay for any kind of subliminal advertising involving me. People make that mistake, but I am not working for pizza companies doing subliminal advertising; that is not in any way what I am doing. I am NOT being sponsored by ANY pizza companies to display subliminal pizza advertising OF ANY KIND.

gollark: My profile picture isn't a pizza, though?
gollark: For what purpose?
