The business was founded by Irvin Hamel in 1908.

Excerpt from stjacobs.com:

From the late 1880's to the 1960's, Mennonites travelling by horse and buggy brought their horses in to be shoed by blacksmiths like Mr. Martin (Jon B. Martin Blacksmith Shop) who worked here until 1987. The shop was a favorite destination for the village children who were fascinated by the “red hot” work of the men outfitted in heavy leather aprons, gloves and boots. Today's resident craftsmen continue to make traditional crafts onsite.
