'''Society of Friends (Quakers)''' - One of the earliest "settlements" in the county was a short-lived agricultural school called Dennis' Station on the Wabash River near the county line with Wabash County. It existed for only a year or two beginning in 1804 and was approved by Chief Little Turtle.<ref>Wikepedia contributors, "Quaker Agriculture missions to the Miami," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaker_Agriculture_missions_to_the_Miami, accessed 2 Dec 2021</ref> An 1853 map shows a Friends church as close as Wabash County.<ref>Mote, Marcus. 1853.
