As of 2019, the outlying areas surrounding Exchange are still populated, but the main street through town is blocked. On August 25, 2023, a fire started in one of the buildings and spread to both sides, resulting in the destruction of the main structures and smaller storage buildings.
An early variant name was Millburn. The present name was suggested on account of ownership of the local mill and other enterprises frequently changing hands.[3]
