History
The area was settled in the early 20th century, and a post office was established in 1925.[3] In 1929, the population had doubled to 100 from its 50 residents just a few years before. It peaked again in the late 1950s, at 100 people, but began to decline, once again. Only 25 people called Acala home by the 1970s. Since then, it has remained at that size.
