Warren Hugh Wilson (1867 – 1937) was an early pioneering contributor to rural sociology and the Country Life Movement;[1] and a leader within the Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church.[2] He is one of the first sociologists to study rural life and the church.[3] In 1942, the Dorland-Bell School for Girls and the Asheville Farm School for Boys merged and was renamed to Warren Wilson College to honor Warren Hugh Wilson's contributions to rural America.[2] Specifically, he urged the community to adapt and update their historical Appalachian ways to changing conditions in the region, which included training and education for rural people.[4]
His published works include twelve books and pamphlets, thirteen periodical articles, seven parts of a series, six addresses, and seventeen surveys,.[2] Throughout his career as a pastor and sociologist, he created a model for all Christian denominations with parishes in the countryside.[5]
