History

The land around present-day Gordonville was originally owned by Sam Gordon and his father, who lived in Indiana. Sam Gordon established the first store in the town in either 1857 or 1858, and the town became known as Gordonville. The first church in the town was set up by Methodist missionaries on the farm of Louis Siemers in 1848, with Liberty School house being established shortly later. Hubble Mill and Gordonville Roller Mills were established along Hubble Creek.

In the 1850s, German immigrants began to move into the area and established farms around Gordonville. A German Methodist church and a German Lutheran church were also organized just south of Gordonville to serve the local German population.
