Beyond an inn, saw mills and gravel pits (still in operation),
The former hamlet remains a rural and mainly agricultural area with a few residential lots.
The hamlet name's origin is unknown but likely shares the same links to Abraham Lincoln as those in the United States and one in Nova Scotia. Maps from the 19th century (namely 1860s and 1870s) through into today often fail to mention the hamlet's existence.
