History

Founded in 1900 when the Rassat Store was built by Jack Haverty. Around the same time the Chatham Co-op Creamery was built on the Northeast side of 8 and 35. A blacksmith was also completed north on 8. The store was moved across County Road 8 and on the north side of County Road 35 in 1910. In 1913-1914 the store was replaced by a new building. In 1923, the creamery burned and was replaced. In the 1940s, a garage was built across from the store, it later closed in the 1950s. The creamery closed in the 1940s and became storage. The creamery and a house is all that remains of the village.
