After winding up a steep grade that traverses miles and miles of wheat farms to arrive at Cloverland, surrounded by irrigated orchards, wheat farms, and stock ranches, is the center of activity for a population of about 300 people.

A town site plat was filed February 26, 1903 and a post office established soon thereafter. The name of the post office was selected by ranchers who expected to raise crops of hay, grain, and fruit under irrigation. The post office was closed July 21, 1942.
