It was named for postmaster Henry B. Marcum Jr, who originally established it just below and crosses from the mouth of Sugar Creek on the Red Bird River.[2] Some time before 1928 it moved upriver by 1 mile to across from the mouth of Gilbert Creek, and remained there, located on Kentucky Route 66 11.5 miles (18.5 km) east-southeast of Manchester, until closure.[2][3]
