This geographical feature not only adds to the scenic beauty of the area but also plays a role in the local ecosystem.

History
The community's name, "Enon," is derived from Ænon, a location cited in the New Testament of the Bible, often associated with baptisms performed by John the Baptist. An alternate name for the community was "Hoeberville," under which a post office was established in 1879. This post office continued operations until its closure in 1914.

The community has had a rich history of names, initially being called "Hoeberville" before adopting its current name, Enon. The transition between the two names represents changes within the community, although the specific reasons for the shift remain unclear.
