In 1886, William Milligan homesteaded this property and constructed the canal/ditch and dam for purposes of irrigation. In 1897, he constructed a reservoir. This information was filed in the county of record. Mr. Milligan had a grits mill powered by the water force from the reservoir. He served the area grain growers. In the 1930's  1940's, the property was a dude ranch named Whispering Pines.
