In 1879, the traditional Mennonite Neuanlage village was established at this site, in what is now the Rural Municipality of Hanover, with communally-owned fields and pasturelands arranged in long narrow farmsteads. The village only existed until 1889. A monument at the site commemorates the Johann Koop homestead and the Kleine Gemeinde cemetery in the village.
