Named after the Flourney family farm that's been in this area since 1871. It was probably a lot more populated at the time when the railroad went through here and whatnot. 

There's a lot of abandoned mining towns and things like that in this area that for whatever reason GNIS still classifies as unincorporated populated places or hamlets. Part of the project I'm working on is updating them in OSM/Wikidata by tagging them properly and adding historical information. At some point I'd like to create a map of the historical gold rush towns, mines, now abandoned railroads etc etc that uses Wikidata, with photos and stuff.
