Brockliss Road was the name given to the present Centerville Lane on October 22, 1894, when county commissioners declared it a public road. Opening the road depended on ranchers along the section line donating enough land for a right of way. Its western end passed through the Brockliss Estate near Sheridan, the original Brockliss homestead taken up in 1860. Its eastern end was marked by Centerville, which comprised a bar opened by Chris Berning in 1902 and a blacksmith shop opened by John C. Rieman in 1903 and sold to Parks Brothers, who had moved there from Sheridan in 1901.
