In the late 1700s, slaves were brought to this area with their white owners as part of the "traveling church" from Virginia. In 1877, many former slaves moved west to newly-formed Nicodemus, Kansas. Those that remained in this area purchased land in Stonetown. The community had a school and two churches.
