The community was first recognized when Czech families settled in the area in 1881. It had a store and a saloon when the town applied for a post office in 1891. It was given the name Seaton, which accordingly was not named after any settlers. Seventeen people were living in Seaton in 1896 and the community had a cotton gin as well. A Czech Brethren church was established in 1906. The post office closed in 1907.
