Skunk Hollow or, "the mountain," was a free black community from 1806-1905. The first known deed dated 1806 belonged to Jack Earnest from Palisades.

In 1841, William Thompson, an African Methodist Episcopal itinerant preacher bought Jack's house, built a church on his land, and became resident preacher.

Over one hundred families lived in Skunk Hollow including Brown, Oliver, Sisco, Thompson, Williams and others.
