Named for a long-ago Speaker of the House of the U.S. House of Representatives (Charles F. Crisp), Crisp began using the name when the post office opened in 1892. Settlement had begun a few years previously. The town reached its population zenith in the 1920s. It remained there through the 60s and then declined to just under 100 - where it has remained ever since.
Crisp's name lives on, however, in the form of brick. The word is impressed in the product of a local brickyard and like the neighboring towns of Palmer and Ferris, it turns up on occassion - usually in the sidewalks of brick collectors.
