| LEBAM |
Lebam is a farming and residential community on Hwy. 6. Settlers first moved to the site in 1879 and called their little community Half Moon Prairie, or Half Moon Creek. When the post office was established May 26, 1890, postmaster Jotham "Joe" Weeks Goodell was asked to supply a shorter name. Goodell considered various alternatives but finally submitted the reversed spelling of his daughter Mabel's name. Lebam was a prosperous sawmill and farming district town for nearly three decades. Two calamitous fires in the 1920's almost destroyed the town but residents rebuilt both times. (Pacific County Historical Society) |
