A meeting for worship at Robeson was established by Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting under Exeter Monthly Meeting in 1740. A preparative meeting was established in 1741.

The Orthodox preparative meeting was discontinued in 1872; its members were transferred to Caln Preparative Meeting. The Hicksite preparative meeting was discontinued in 1841
