History on a Pinhead

A former colony of Swedish Americans from the midwest and northeast, the town was settled around 1909 and named after a geographic rise that soars 30 feet over the marshes. These immigrants were disheartened in 1915 when a hurricane destroyed their citrus and fig trees. Former Big Hillers moved into Winnie and Hampshire.
