In 1854 Matias Novak built his house in what was called Mulberry. A dvout Catholic, Mass was celebrated in his home. The town grew a little and in 1858 was named Praha – Czech for Mother Prague. The town began a slow decline, when, in 1873 the SP built its track one mile north of the town.

Its spire can be easily seen from US90.
