Evans was a coal-mining community with a post office from November 1904 to February of 1911. The Evans School-Church building and a company store served the hamlet, which began as a tent city. Small houses for mining families replaced tents. Evans was named for C. D. Evans, who developed the coal mine here in 1902-1903.
