In 1780 Hendrick Banta led a large group of Dutch pioneers from Pa. who rented land from John Floyd and built Low Dutch, or New Holland, Station here, one of six pioneer forts on Beargrass Creek. Fleeing from Indians, the group later bought land from Squire Boone in Henry and Shelby counties. This property was acquired in 1810 by James Brown of Md., a leading agriculturalist.
