While the 2000 census recorded over two hundred people in the area, this is about the center of town in this quiet, rural community, and the population is scattered. Behind the church is the Boxelder Cemetery, also known as Salem Cemetery, and a 2009 Texas Historical Marker provides some background:
In 1856, the Rev. Thomas Wilson Anderson (1815-1890) organized Salem Baptist Church with twelve charter members. The first church building was located northeast of Boxelder; by 1871, the congregation had moved to this location. By 1918, the church had a two-story structure and the local Woodmen of the World chapter met on the upper floor. The congregation built the current structure in 1945. From its early years, the church served as the focal point of the rural Boxelder community. Members have ministered to the sick and needy of the area, and have also focused on missions. Today, Salem Baptist Church continues to be a spiritual leader in Boxelder.
