Etymology

It is speculated that the name of the community is derived from the surname of Charles Hackley a timber baron that owned over 200,000 acres of land in Louisiana.[2]

Old railroad

Between 1892-1922 there was a 26.5 miles (42.65 kilometres) railroad built by the Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Company that ran from Kentwood, Louisiana and terminated at Hackley.[3] The railroad was leased and operated by the Kentwood and Eastern Railway.

gollark: Anyway, it *does* rely on my personal server, which is... not entirely reliable, but mostly works.You can host your own and connect to that though.
gollark: You just `require` it and can then do stuff like```luaskynet.send(channel, message)local channel, message = skynet.receive(channel)```
