History
[edit]The settlement's name was furnished by the Postal Service when it established an office there in 1888. Celt is in a valley formed by Mill Creek.[3][4] There were seven springs, called Allgire or Celt Springs, on the Mill Creek.[5]
In 1904, a new telegraph office was established here.[6]
The post office closed in 1968.[7]
The now-abandoned Celt School was located in the settlement in the early 1940s.[8]
