The town is located at the site of Estate Whim, a large sugarcane plantation, sugar mill, and rum distillery during the colonial Danish West Indies era. The Whin estate was in the 18th century owned first by Christopher MacEvoy Sr. and later by his son Christopher MacEvoy Jr. The stone ruins are on the National Register of Historic Places.
