In 1755,(Submitted on May 11, 2023, by Michael Buckner of Durham, North Carolina.)Scotch-Irish immigrants first established what became known as Eno Presbyterian Church. The first church was built on the banks of the Eno River, in an area between the Eno and Haw Rivers known as the Hawfields. The religious needs of the Presbyterian settlements in North Carolina were met by missionaries from Pennsylvania and New Jersey—colonies with established and rapidly-growing Scotch-Irish populations. One of these missionaries, Hugh McAden, was sent on an extensive tour of Virginia and North Carolina in 1755 to promote the ministry in the southern colonies. McAden first preached to the Eno congregation in August 1755. His service is counted as the first formal organization of the church. McAden served Eno and other area churches until 1765.
