Near this spot, Frogtown was founded in 1851 and became the center of trade for miners working on the nearby flats and gulches. When the Oregon Stage Road was built, the town was moved to higher ground and in 1852 was renamed Hawkinsville. In 1858, a red brick church was erected in the center of town, and it is still standing.
