Antioch has been a community since 1885. It got its name from the very first church in the area, which is now known as the Antioch Church of Christ. Back in the late 1800s, this church was used by different groups. Baptists met there on the second and fourth Sundays of the month, and members of the Churches of Christ met on the first and third Sundays.
