History

edit

A post office called Kershaw was established in 1892, the name was changed to Stine in 1904, and the post office closed in 1909.[2] The community was named after Marcus Stine, an owner in the Delamar mining district.[3][1]

Stine was the site of the coal power plant that transmitted electricity to the Bamberger De Lamar Gold Mines located 13 miles away.[4] In 1909, the power plant was decommissioned and possibly shipped to the Lagoon Resort, which was owned by Simon Bamberger.[5]

Variant names were "Cana" and "Stine Station".[1]
