About the area |
The city of Carlton might never have been except for the fact that in the 1870's a railroad was built from Portland to St Joe, with no stop in between. One of the farmers, in the area where Carlton now exists, talked to the railroad company officials to see if they would make a stop closer to the area so the farmers would not have to take their produce so far to the railroad. Eventually a regular stop was made at what is now Carlton. They know how to keep government small here; the City of Carlton employs only ten full time people. Amazing that this small town has 11 wineries; so next time you are in town stop into one of them for a great quaff.
