Lafayette was originally founded in 1888 by Mary Miller. She and her husband Lafayette Miller moved to Lafayette to farm land. Coal was eventually discovered on this land and Mary designated a portion of this land to the town which she named Lafayette after her husband. Lafayette quickly became part of the coal mining boom and by 1914 it had two banks, four hotels and brick works.
