On November 26, 1806, this marker was erected as a memorial to the beginning of the settlement of the Unity of Brethren (Moravians) in Wachovia. It was moved here in 1850, having been placed originally at the site of the first cabin occupied by the Brethren in 1753. The first such historical marker had been erected by the Moravians in 1770.

"Br. Benizien was present and announced that the Helfer Conferenz furs Ganze (Minister's Conference) had decided to place a monument bearing the words 'The 17th November 1753' on the site of the first hut which was occupied by the twelve (sic: 15) Single Brethren when they arrived."
Bethabara Diary, December 10, 1803.
