This was an 1890's Cherokee Strip Town having the only post office in the area.  It is noted that one of the Smeltzer men from Basin swam the river to get the mail at Sinnet and died of pneumonia there.  In the spring, his family dug up his body and reburied him in the Basin Cemetery.  Due to the building of Keystone Dam in 1956, he was again dug up and moved to his final resting place in the Mannford Cemetery.
