In 1952, Route 66 was rerouted so it bypassed Endee.
Endee was a supply center for ranches in the area. In 1946, the town consisted of a grocery store, a gas station with "modern restrooms" and a repair garage, a school, and a scattering of cabins.{{cite book |last1=Hinkley |first1=Jim |title=Ghost Towns of Route 66 |date=2011 |publisher=Voyageur Press |location=Minneapolis |isbn=978-0-7603-3843-8 |pages=94–97}}
