Four Corners, otherwise known as Frog Hollow, was a tiny speck on the landscape on the Pease River and had only a gas station, a general mercantile store, a gin house and an icehouse. As the town was regularly flooded out after heavy rains, the construction for State Highway 70 bypassed Four Corners, so it was a sleepy town at first but not anymore! Here's a little more info about the different neighborhoods in town.
