History
McKays was originally known as McKay's Station, and under the latter name had its start when the railroad was extended to that point.[2] The location was never platted but the railroad had a 21 car capacity and had 1 side track. At the location as well was a grain elevator, coal yard, log loading, stock yard and a grocery.[3] A post office called McKays Station was established in 1878, and remained in operation until 1892.[4][5] The community was named for Alfred McKay, the original owner of the town site.[2]
