John Colony started with a group of Black farming families who came to the community from Webberville and purchased land here in the early 1870s. Since their leader was the Reverend John Henry Winn, the town was first called Winn's Colony. After the building of the St. John Regular Missionary Baptist Church was established, the community was renamed. The community's boundaries were somewhat hazy but included an area of up to 2,200 acres (890 ha) of land. 40 families lived in the community in the 1980s and had three churches. In 2000, the population of the community was estimated as 150
