New Hope Baptist Church was founded during the Civil War and was the focus of the community. J.W. Linkenhoker built a store near the church sometime after World War I ended and which remained operational in the 1920s. There was one business and only seven residents that next decade. The church and several scattered houses remained in New Hope in the early 1990s and the community had a population of 50 in 2000.[2]
