History


In 1899, Catholic parishioners from nearby Herzog established a new parish six miles to the north and began construction of Sacred Heart Church, which they completed in 1901.[2] Originally named Norddorf, the community was renamed Emmeram after Emmeram Kausler, the church pastor.[3] The community grew to include two schools, and a town plot was filed in 1902, but the town was never built.[4] A post office operated in Emmeram from 1903 to 1904.[5]
