The Church of the Nativity was built in 1859 and consecrated by bishop Leonidas Polk on April 22, 1860. Before the construction of the church Episcopal services were held at the Live Oaks Plantation chapel. Mr. John Philson, who helped organize the parish, directed the construction of the church. In May 1864 the Union army marched down the Rosedale Road and a skirmish was fought on the grounds around the church. The parish has retained the strong rural character that it had when Reverend John Philson founded it.
