History

Scammon was laid out in 1884. It was named for the four Scammon brothers, who operated the first mine there. David Mackie (1836–1910) was a founder and builder of Scammon, and the first President of the Scammon State Bank. The community was known as Stilson when it was first settled. The town was known as Scammonville for a short time before adopting the current name.

The first post office at Scammonville, established in 1879, was renamed Scammon in 1890.

The local railroad history group Heart of the Heartlands, based in Scammon and nearby unincorporated Carona, has restored the old Carona depot as a museum.
