In 1839 this congregation was organized with the Rev. Claugh Waterfield as pastor. The first member was 14-year-old William F. Richards. The Rev. William Craig began the 300-mile church hill circuit in 1843. John Robertson, John Strong, and Samuel Wasson set aside this 27-acre plot for a church and schoolhouse in 1852. When the structure was erected in 1879, there were about 12 dirt-floored houses built nearby for families during camp meetings. The Academy, which served as the schoolhouse, is used as the educational building.
