The community was settled by the Myers, Shirks, Ellenbergers, Lights, and Brightbills. In 1773 Frederick Kauffman was the Lebanon County bishop. The meetinghouse, which was built on the lands of Benjamin Bowman before 1768, was used until 1851, when the [[Evangelical United Brethren Church|United Brethren]] claimed the building. The Mennonites then, under their bishop Jacob Dohner, moved east to the site of [[Dohner Mennonite Church (Lebanon, Pennsylvania, USA)|Dohner's meetinghouse]], the congregation in 1957 bearing that name being the lineal descendant of Kauffman's.
