The Kanuck post office opened in 1883, changed its name to Cleone in 1883, and closed in 1908. In 1883, a sawmill about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of the village of Cleone was constructed. Wood products were shipped from a wharf at the place. Railroad cars ran down by gravity from the hill to the chute and were returned by horses.
