The community was named for the McPhee family, who were early settlers of the area. James, Evan, and Donald McPhee were given a 700 acre land grant in the area on February 6th, 1822.[3]
St. Thomas Anglican church was erected in the area in 1797. A new church building was later built in 1845 and consecrated in November of 1892.[3]
