Is it true that originally Riggens was called Gouge Eye? This name was supposedly adopted after a fight between two miners that lived there in which one had his eye gouged out. Later when a postmaster was sending letters to gouge eye he would always refer to the postmaster there, whose name was Riggins, to those who did not know where Gouge eye was. Eventually as the area became domesticated the name of the town was changed from Gouge Eye to Riggens. Not too bad for an Easterner, Ehh.
