In April 1801, Thomas Bradley; Elijah, Charity and Andrew Rogers; Elijah and
Conny Anderson, members  of the Forks of Elkhorn Baptist Church were dismissed to
join a new congregation up the creek on the north fork of Elkhorn. William Hickman
and George Eve had established a church consisting of nineteen members on the north
Elkhorn at Switzer, which became known as Meeting House Spring.  The church was first
called Brushy Fork, but soon changed to North Fork.

On May 2, 1870 trustees of the North Fork Baptist Church bought six acres from the
Talbott estate.  That same year the North Fork Baptist Church was built on its present
site.

Early ministers at North  Fork Baptist were: William Hickman,George Eve, Jesse Vawter,
John H. Ficklin,and Mordecai Boulware. The North Fork Baptist Church Cemetery is
located beside the church.  Of  all of the graves located  in the cemetery, the oldest
inscribed tombstone still legible is that of Mollie D. Hockensmith, born November 25, 1844
and died October 31, 1872.
