In 1819, following Delassus' death, this land was sold to his son Charles Dehault Delassus, and then shortly after to Charles’ nephew Felix de St. Vrain.
In 1837 German Catholics arrived, at which time the location was known as Nouvelle Alsace (French: New Alsace), and was subsequently renamed Zell in 1840. The Catholic church of St. Joseph was built between 1845-1847.[5][6]
