History

Quarry was laid out by the Le Grand Quarry Company in 1868.^[1] The mining community took its name from the nearby quarry.^[2] A post office was established at Quarry in 1869, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1909.^[3]

Quarry was the site of several limestone quarries. A railroad depot (on the North Western Railroad line), a schoolhouse, a general store, and a few houses were located in Quarry in 1912. During its heyday, between 60 and 150 laborers worked in the Quarry quarries.^[4]

Quarry's population in 1940 was 144.^[5]
