According to the records and verbal reports from older members of the community, a rather large group of Baptists lived in what is now the Long Island and Sherrill’s Ford communities.  Most of these were members of Mt. Ruhama Baptist Church, twelve miles away, which in 1833 was a long distance to travel to attend church.  The group was more of a mission or as it was called in those days, “An arm of the church”.  They worshipped in the homes of the members and also under brush arbors. 

            The community of Long Island is named for a long island which ran from the bridge on Buffalo Shoals Road to Sherrill’s Ford.  In 1916, there was a flood which washed away the West Monbo Cotton Mill and the mercantile store.  The long island was broken into several small islands which still exist today.

            On August 17, 1833, the above mentioned group was organized into a church, which was named Olivet Baptist Church....  Click Here for More!
