There were numerous stores and craft shops, a Masonic and Woodmen of the World lodge, several churches, and an ice cream parlor in 1900. A post office was established at Locker in 1899 and remained in operation until the 1950s. Thomas H. Locker was the first postmaster and named it after another James Locker, a local businessman.
