The community’s name originated from a local church and cemetery, which were named after Robert Crumley, an early farmer of the area.[2]
Crumley Chapel Methodist Church was founded in 1859. The Crumley Chapel Cemetery was founded in 1858 and dedicated to Oliver Shoemaker and his wife. Shoemaker donated the land for the cemetery.[3]
