The town developed from early Methodist settlement in the early 1800s, with the founding of Powder Creek Meeting House in 1805 leading to the establishment of the first church. Over the following decades, Crawfordville grew as a community center, with buildings added in various architectural styles reflecting changes across the 19th and 20th centuries.

A train depot built in the late 1800s features a mural painted in the 1980s by an artist who worked on movies, depicting folk art signs and old roadside symbols. Though both the building and artwork are fading, they represent a rare link between the town's history and broader artistic traditions.
