Per Jubilee Booklet:
Hoyleton (orignally Yankee Town) was founded by New England Congregationalist who later left as they had come in the wake of westward expansion.
As waves of German immigrants arrived the former inhabitants sold out to them at a profit and moved on to the new frontier.
Within a few years only Low German was heard in the streets, shops and stores.
Congregational Church donations toward building a seminary were given over to the newly formed [German] Zion Church.
F. E. W. Brink, W. Weigel, J.H.C. Wiese, F. Krughoff, and Henry Horst are given credit for suggesting the donated funds be used for an Orphan Home.
