There are some records that this little town was settled as early as 1793, although Wikipedia hedges a bit: The community known as Chataignier had a beginning, but its age will never be determined. The age of a community is a nebulous thing, depending on whether one uses as point of inception the date of the arrival of the first settler, the establishment of the post office, the coming of the railroad, or any other such memorable happening. Resources for determining the historical origin of a community such as Chataignier are limited. For such information, one must rely on a few recorded instances coupled with the reliable knowledge of the elder members of the community.

(That is actually the most amusing town history I have ever read. Thanks, anonymous Wikipedia person!)

And none of that really even matters. What I wanted to say about this is that there is a strong likelihood this store carries whatever it is you are looking for.
