The fort that gave its name to the settlement was built by
American Revolutionary War veteran Captain John Lamar in 1790.[2]
In 1868, a local name for Fort Lamar was Montgomery's Store,[3] but by 1898, this name no longer appeared to be used.[4]
The settlement had a post office for decades in the late 19th century, but by 1904, it had been closed, supplanted by new
Rural Free Delivery of mail.[5]
