In the early 19th century, a wealthy Frenchman who went by the name of "Louis Anathe Muller" lived on the site for several years. Muller constructed a house and developed a hamlet nearby, known as Bronder's Hollow. After he left the region in 1814, the house and hamlet fell into disrepair; Muller's home burnt down in the early 20th century.
