In the late 1880s a group of African Americans established the Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church near the Sunflower River, under the leadership of their first pastor Minister A. O. Gaston. The church would be moved to this location in 1918, changing its name to First Baptist Missionary Baptist Church in 1927. Serving as a social, educational and cultural hub for the community, First Baptist housed a number of civil rights meetings and organizations in the summer of 1964.
