==History==
[[Image: New Settlement welcome sign.jpg | thumb | 222px | A New Settlement welcome sign in 1818 ]]

The Acorn Crossing area was inhabited by native Parkufo peoples some 500 years before the first English-speaking settlers arrived in the late 1700s.  Explorers discovered a settlement called ''"Oic-viito"'' ("little village").  In 1798, explorers burned the settlement to the ground and built a new community, simply called "New Settlement" during the early 1800s.  New Settlement was destroyed in 1824, and its residents fled to other communities.  Decades later, during the 1890s, community planners re-built New Settlement.  In 1912, New Settlement was renamed Acorn Crossing (the reason for the name is not known).  Acorn Crossing was a farming town for years, but new businesses came to the town during the 1960s and 1970s, after nearby Dragoonasag Interstate Highways [[Dragoonasag Interstate Route 61#Lohana|61]] and [[Dragoonasag Interstate Route 92#Lohana|92]] were constructed.  More recently, in 2009, a [[Farvin Oil Company|Farvin]] truck plaza was constructed in Acorn Crossing (and to access it, truck drivers still need to drive some eleven miles from DI-61 on [[Lohana State Route 558|Highway 558]]).
