History
A post office called Sugar City has been in operation since 1900. The community was named for the fact it once was a sugar manufacturing center.
Sugar City was named for its sugar beet factory, established in 1899. It was owned by the National Beet Sugar Company. During a drought in the 1950s the wastewater lagoons at the factory dried, producing a smell that overwhelmed the town. The factory closed in 1967.
