History

Luckey was named for Captain James B. Luckey, who served in the US Army from 1861 to 1864. In 1879 he bought 180 acres of land and built a saw mill on the site of the village. In 1881 Isaac Krotzer surveyed the town, and several businesses were established including a post office, stave factory, and hotel. [4] A post office called Luckey has been in operation since 1881. [5] The village was incorporated in 1940. [6] From 1949 to 1958 there was a production site near the village that produced Beryllium under contract for the United States Atomic Energy Commission.
