A Presbyterian congregation began in 1750 in a log church one mile southeast of here. Land was eventually purchased and a second church was built in 1786 on this ridge between two valleys. In 1887, bordering The Great Road (Rt. 94) where Warren and Sussex Counties meet at an elevation of 880 feet, a church and manse were erected as the congregation's third location, built in the Victorian Queen Anne style by Simeon Cooke of Newton. In 1889 this yellow church was incorporated in Sussex County under its present name.
