History
Haig (also historically called Haigville) got its start when the Union Pacific Railroad was extended to that point.[2] It was named for Harry Haig, described in one source as a local "cowboy".[3]
A post office was established in Haig (Haigville) in 1914, and remained in operation until being discontinued in 1963.[4]
