During the 20th century, our area became famous for its dairy and hog farms. Farmers used a certain road to move their cattle to and from pasture or markets. Cattle love salt and they used a clever way of placing salt in front of the cattle to move them from pastures back to their farms. The cattle would stop to lick the salt and were enticed to follow the farmer as he moved it back closer each time to his farm. The area along Backlick Road had natural salt licks that attracted deer and the Indians had hunted that area well before the farmers used their tricks. None-the-less, the road is appropriately named "Backlick Road".
