On 22 December 1772, the first school and Christian church was built in Schoenbrunn, Ohio. The town was founded on 3 May 1772 by missionaries of the Moravian church. The Moravians were from Moravia, which is part of the Czech Republic. The Moravian and the Delaware leaders decided to relocate from Pennsylvania to the Tuscarawas Valley in Ohio due to the fight for independence from Great Britain. The Delaware Chief Netawates gave the land to Reverend David Zeisberger.

Zeisberger and 28 men, women, children and a herd of cattle arrived to the new land on May 3, 1772. The first thing they did was plant crops to get them through their first winter instead of building homes for them to live in. Schoenbrunn had a population of 400 Christian natives that were mostly the Delaware Indians.

After a couple years, Zeisberger was urged to move closer to Coshocton. On 19 April 1777, he destroyed the church so no non-Christians could use the building. The village moved to Lichtenau which is near Coshocton. There was no longer a Schoenbrunn until the 1920’s when a Moravian minister wanted to recreate the town. In 1927, the first log cabin and school were reconstructed after finding at the information needed in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

The Moravians first came to America during the colonial time. In 1735, they tried to make a community in Savannah, Georgia but it did not work out. In 1741, they were able to settle in Pennsylvania. The Moravian purchased 500 acres in Bethlehem. They then bought 5,000 acres of the Barony of Nazareth and the two communities of Bethlehem and Nazareth became close due to their agricultural and industrial economy.
