"Guittard's Station. Kept by French pioneer George Guittard, who, with his sons, settled on the west side of the Vermillion Creek in 1857 after abandoning his trip to California because of a lack of funds. A prominent station later to become a postoffice under son Xavier appointed by Lincoln in 1861."
