History

The town of Duke was founded in 1890. [6] Speculation about the location of a projected railroad sparked a separation in the community, creating an old town called West Duke, and a new town called East Duke. [6] While the community reconciled in 1915 when the parties literally buried a hatchet delivered in a horse-drawn hearse, West Duke did not ultimately survive, and East Duke is now known simply as Duke. [6]
