History

A post office was established here in April 1882 and the area was named after the first postmaster, Adolphus Starns. Adolphus was a descendant of Edward Bynum Starns, who received the first land grant given in the area by the Spanish Empire. The Morgan family stated in an interview that a man named Sentel Lott would carry the daily mail back and forth between Holden, Louisiana, using a mule and buggy.[2][3]
