NEEDMORE

Needmore Village is a small hamlet of about a dozen homes in the northwestern part of the township in sections 21 and 28 and dates its origin from the year 1870 at which time a store was started by John Knoll & Son, and a post office was established.

The village was never platted and derives its name from a remark made by a traveler to the effect that the place would "need more houses in order to make a good town".

Knoll & Sons sold goods until the year 1881, when they were succeeded by J.F. Nichols, who did business from many years. It is a good trading point, being located about midway between the towns of Poland and Cloverdale and is the source of supplies for a large scope of the country.
