In 1958 Blue Creek was founded by Old Colony Mennonites from Mexico.

Disputes about the use of mechanical tools, especially chain saws, soon led to conflicts, which resulted in the founding of an Evangelical Mennonite Mission Conference congregation in 1966 there, while others left to Bolivia, Mexico and Canada.

In the end also the leaders of the Old Colony church left, forcing members to decide whether they would leave with them or join other groups.

According to the 2010 census, Blue Creek had a population of 407 people in 111 households.
