The Deam Wilderness was first to be settled by an Native American family in 1826. The Todd Family bought this property for $1 from the government. The land was sold very cheaply because it was on steep hills and the soil was very poor for farming. The forest department have now returned the land back to nature allowing it to grow natural. The only thing left from the pioneers that lived here almost 2 hundred years ago are 6 small cemeteries.
