History

Nestled in Knox County's southwest corner, St. Augustine, founded in 1836, boasts a rich history. Originally in Fulton County, it strategically moved to Knox County, aligning itself with the railroad line.
Perry Service Station east of the Junction on 116. Built in 1933.

The church was originally built in 1863 under the supervision of Father Allbrecht, and was at one time across the county line in Fulton County. A few years after being built, "Father Larmer removed it to it's current site". The original priest's house built about 1874-75, burned down in 1911, and the present parsonage was built in 1912
