History

There are two accounts on how Acme was named.

The first states that Acme was named by Samuel Parks around 1887 after the name of a hymnal in his possession.

The second claims that in 1887, resident George Parls named the town after a local church’s newly received Acme hymn book.

Either way, the English word acme is from a Greek word meaning culmination or top or highest point.
