Luther was named after Myron Luther Pray, a local store owner.[2] It was commonly known as "Sawdust Hill".[3] The general store operated until 1925, when it was destroyed by fire.[4] A creamery was established in 1904,[5][6], but was affected by the bankruptcy of one of the partners, general store owner Myron L. Pray, and closed the same year.[7][8]
A post office was established at Luther in 1894, and it remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1905.[3][9] Luther Rural Telephone company was incorporated in 1902,[3] to establish and maintain telephone services in Whitley, Huntington, Wabash and Kosciusko counties, with the central office in Luther.[10][11] The switchboard was moved across the county line into Huntington county in 1907.[12]
The Centenary United Brethren Church, north of Luther, was established in 1874.[13][14]
The first horseless carriage in Huntingdon county was reputedly built in about 1850, by a schoolteacher living near where the town of Luther later stood.[15]
