The origins of the town started with the building of a log house owned by Dr. and Mrs. Leathers. Initially known as Center, a blacksmith's shop opened for business in 1878. The town changed its name to Diamond when, in 1883, a post office came into operation. The area was named for a diamond shaped tract of land near the original town site.
