The Methodist church at Saltillo was built in 1849. It was composed, to a large extent, of those who had been members ot the Mount Horeb church, in Harrison township, which appointment was discontinued after the establishment of the church at Saltillo. Vhe Saltillo church was, in effect if not in fact, the successor of the Mount Jloreb church, though some of the members of the latter probably united with other congregations. The Saltillo church first belonged to the Somerset circuit, and then for a series of vears to the Rehoboth circuit. It is now a part of the Uniontown circuit.
