Cancelled postal card mailed from Pinedale, Ariz., December 31, 1908. Niels Mortenson began a Mormon settlement here in 1879. Although it was first known as Mortenson, it was also referred to a Percheron because of the breed of stallion Mortenson and Peterson brought with them. By 1888 the settlement was called Pinedale, the name it holds today because of the many pine trees around.
