History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The town is named after Seth H. Conover, a descendant of Wolphert Gerritse, who would travel to the area for hunting and fishing. He would often take a train to the area, even though there was no station there. Eventually, the railroad men started calling the area "Conover's Place." A station was soon built there, and several logging camps were established. The town continued to grow when other businesses were established. In 1935, the town hall was built.
