History

Haig (also historically called Haigville) got its start when the Union Pacific Railroad was extended to that point.[2] It was named for Harry Haig, described in one source as a local "cowboy".[3]

A post office was established in Haig (Haigville) in 1914, and remained in operation until being discontinued in 1963.[4]

gollark: Er. Hmm. Rincewind?
gollark: Imagine: someone tells you "yes I really like [CHARACTER] or [EVENT]". If you have no idea what book they're from or any idea about it, you may have to embarrass yourself and say you don't know! But with a way to search all books ever (okay, you can't do that with just public domain ones however bees) you can have vague surface level knowledge of something on demand!
gollark: I'm aware of that, but they don't have a convenient search thing.
