History edit
Four Corners most likely received this name because of its location. The community had several scattered houses, farms, a few businesses, and a church in 1936, even though the community was not listed by name. Another business was in the area at the intersection and was most likely a combination gas station and store. There was a business located at the crossroads as late as the 1990s, but there were no population estimates available for the community.[2]
