It seems that no one at the present time, knows how Enon got its name.
Nor does anyone know just when the first settlement was made in the
community.
A man by the name of Knight gave the land for the location of a
Missionary Baptist Church.
Among the early settlers were, Mr. McPeek, father of Bill and John
McPeek. He settled near the center of the community at a very early
date. The Rays settled south and southeast of the church building. Mr.
Simpson, father of Judge Simpson, settled a little south of the church.
Mr. Petty settled at a place just east of McPeek’s store. “Aunt Susan”
Petty was a well known and highly respected character. The Carters
settled to the northeast of the church. Mr. Fowler settled up on Cypress
creek near where the Fowler bridge is located.
