==History==
In 1932 a post office was started in the local grocery store, which was owned by a farmer named Swett. In the 1940s there were 40 residents. At the time the community included a post office, a grocery store, and several houses.〔 The post office was closed in 1945 leaving the community to be known for the saloon. Later the saloon was converted into a home after the building of the current Swett Tavern.〔
As time passed, the number of people owning property decreased. Eventually one person owned all of the properties and land in the community. The property was passed from person to person. In 1998 Lance Benson acquired the town. Benson divorced a previous wife, and she received the town after he signed away the property. In 2012 Benson re-acquired the town. In 2014 Benson offered to sell the town for $399,000.〔 The hamlet's sale became international news. In October 2015, the bank located in Gordon, Nebraska holding the mortgage foreclosed on the hamlet property. The selling price was reduced to $250,000 in 2015. The three mobile homes were removed in a general clean up of the property.〔
