Caffey Corner was a bustling early 20th-century logging settlement. It was named for Civil War veteran and postmaster William N. Caffey, with a post office operating from 1899 to 1916. It serves as a junction for H-40 and is historically linked to the Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Sault Ste. Marie Railway.
