The town was platted in 1902 and the name changed the same year. The name comes either from a surveyor of the railroad or the railroad manager between Billings and Red Lodge.
The nearby Kero Farmstead is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Jacob Kero placed a homestead claim on the land in 1905. The Finnish style farmstead contains fourteen buildings and structures dating from around 1907 to 1958.
