History

The settlement was served by a post office from 1891 to 1905, and in 1894, the German Baptist church was founded by the immigrant residents. Hurnville had 2 businesses and 20 residents in 1936. The population stayed the same, but by the mid-1960s no businesses operated locally. The population in 1990 was fifteen. That figure remained unchanged in 2000.[2]
