Historical NoteReturn to Top
By 1865 a community called Hamilton was established as a stage stop near present day Manhattan. A post office opened in 1868. The town boasted of a school, blacksmith, a general store, and no saloons in addition to the Presbyterian Church. In 1883 the town moved closer to the railroad and was renamed Moreland. The town was later renamed Manhattan. The first pastor of the church was Sheldon Jackson, Superintendent of Territorial Missions in 1872.
