BRIEF HISTORY
An Ohio judge, Silas Sawyer, grew weary of the court room and decided he would join the westward migration in the mid-1800-s. sawyer bought a hundred acres and after clearing half of his land, planted it with fruit trees. He continued logging the area and hauled his timber on a horse driven railroad to Fuller Pier where Warren Dunes State park is now. The town grew as an agricultural center and eventually established an open air market where buyers transported their products by train and truck to population centers. The community also had a thriving lumber trade.
