In its early years Allen was also called Bear Creek, and the community there goes back to 1879. It was a post office on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation with an Episcopal church and telephone service, and a stage carried its mail to Merriman, Nebraska, three times a week. That's from the Polk Gazetteer and Business Directory.
