The area, including nearby mountains and a creek, is named for Nathaniel Hale Pryor, a sergeant in the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The first post office opened in 1892 with Emma C. Stoeckel as postmaster. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad built a line through the valley in 1900. It discontinued service in 1910.
