Hikes opened grist and saw mills as the community grew and a cloth industry developed in the early 19th century.In the early 20th century developers bought up much of the land surrounding Hikes' home, but there was little interest in the area until after World War II.

Since their move away from Hikes Point, the area has been home to Canaan Missionary Baptist Church which moved from the Shively area of the city to Hikes Point in 1998, one of the largest Baptist churches in Kentucky, with over 6500 members.
