John Poole built the first home in 1875, northeast of
Stasburg Park. By 1888, 15 families had settled in the area. That year a one-room brick school was built where the Highland Church now stands, and it served as a church
and social hall as well. James C. Orr, one of the area's first teachers, taught all eight grades, served as the janitor and made fires in the building's old stove.
