A post office operated at Phillipsville from 1883 to 1912, and from 1948 to the present.[2] The name was originally Philips Flat, in honor of George Stump Philips who settled at the place in 1865.[2] The name was changed to Kettintelbe after a local Native American village, but reverted to Phillipsville when the post office reopened in 1948.[2] Phillipsville was home to the once very popular resort DeerHorn Lodge.
