A post office called Pisgah was established in 1843, and remained in operation until 1905.[4] The community was named for a hilltop church near the original town site, Pisgah meaning "peak" in Hebrew.[5]

gollark: Consider. Poland's problems are partly down to people being wrong about things. What if they were *right* about them instead?
gollark: And more people being right is generally good.
