The Mapleton Old Order Mennonite district originated from overcrowding at the [[Klearview Old Order Mennonite Meetinghouse (Listowel, Ontario, Canada)|Klearview Meetinghouse]]. The decision to build the new meetinghouse was made in 2005, but due to changes in provincial regulations and short term opposition from neighbors, construction did not take place until early 2008.

In anticipation of the new building, Paul Martin was ordained as a minister in November 2007. The first service was held 6 July 2008. Initially services were held every three weeks, but later changed to the typical every other Sunday.

As of March 2016 Mapleton included 34 households. 

An accurate count of members is not always available because Old Order Mennonites think of themselves as members of the church at large and not just the immediate congregation. The Old Order also do not see the quantity of members as indicative of the congregation's importance.  When people move from one geographical area to another, they automatically "belong to" the congregation whose meetinghouse is closest to their home. No membership transfer takes place from the former location.
