The earliest school in the area was built in 1880 on John Harper's farm on Union Flat. This school was referred to as Harper school #11 and was located three miles from Wilcox. There's a story that's told about a group of settlers near the territorial road who felt that the Harper school was too far, so one night in 1883 they moved the school the three miles to where the Wilcox community had been established. Chris Heilsberg's barn was later built on the school's foundation. Source: A to Z by Edith E. Erickson</div>
