History

Haig (also historically called Haigville) got its start when the Union Pacific Railroad was extended to that point. It was named for Harry Haig, described in one source as a local "cowboy".

A post office was established in Haig (Haigville) in 1914, and remained in operation until being discontinued in 1963.
