History

During the mid-1730s the Kings Highway was surveyed and settlement began in the Hosensack Valley. A group of German travelers compelled to spend a night in the valley remarked "es war so dunkel wie in einem Hosensack" (it was as dark as in a pants pocket.) The original name of the village was Buckhorn and it was founded in 1759.
