Seemingly, it came to the village in 1905 when the Milwaukee built through that area. At first it had no name, but an immigrant for some reason cried to a teamster. "Can no back," and the phrase put a name on the town.

Of course, there may be more logical reasons, but the story of that origin still persists. Sulphur, up in the ranching part of Meade county, got its name from the Surphur springs in the area. It was in very early days a stopping point on a stage and freighting line. Hundreds of tons of mining equipment going to the Dead-wood mining area were hauled through there with ox trains. Now in forgotten glory it sleeps off the trail just a name.

One settler is supposed to have noticed a boxcar with the title on the side designating capacity and merely shortened the term, making it Capa City. Other stories say that Capa was named by the inventive Doane Robinson, dean of South Dakota historians. Still another story states the word Capa is the Indian word for beaver which abound in one of the nearby streams. Faith Then there is the story of the naming of Faith. It is a town of 522 people in the northeasternmost part of Meade county.

Faith, it is said, was named by the early residents from the characteristic need V) preserve their faith. Others say it was named for Faith Rockefeller.

Murdo McKenzie, mighty cattle baron, who ran 20,000 head for the Matador Ranch, owned most of the land in the area.

When the Milwaukee railroad built through that area in the early 1900 they used the whple name of the rancher. Once a division point of the railroad, still a time change point, Murdo sits on a once great north-south cattle trail. No one disputes the origin of the name it is too well proved.
