History
Eventually, the name was given to the river and to the town that grew up beside it. In the 1890s and early 1900s, there was a logging and railroad boom in the area that lasted up through the Depression years. During this time, railroad connections were established with Gurdon to the south and Amity to the north, and with Delight to the west. Because of this, businesses and settlers began to abandon towns along the old route, and the town began a slow decline from which it ultimately never recovered. During the Depression and afterwards, Antoine experienced a slow but steady decline in population.
