At the time it had just become a switching station for the Gainesville, Henrietta and Western Railroad. Later, in 1891, Anton and August Flusche came to town desiring to promote it as a German-Catholic Colony. They began by purchasing 9,300 acres along the railroad. The town was platted in 1891 and by Fall, the first residents arrived. The first Mass was held on 25 March 1892. The is the date used as the birth of the community.
