Helper townsite was regularly organized and incorporated in 1907 with a president of the town board and members of the board serving the community.
Helper became known as the area "hub" because it was nestled among various mining camps, and it served as a city of refuge where strikers and union organizers as well as national guardsmen could congregate during tense times.
