History

Jones Chapel is named after a local church, which itself was named in honor of "Turkeytail" Jones, an early settler of the area.[2] Turkeytail Jones owned, and operated a trading post at the center of the community. He traded goods with the local Native American tribes for furs.

A post office operated under the name Jones Chapel from 1868 to 1907.[3]
