By 1891, Sebeka had a sawmill, a general store, and a large log hotel. As more people settled here the hotel became a popular meeting place. The hotel was lost in a fire sometime early in the 20th century.

In the last 100 years Sebeka has seen the population go from 233 in 1900 to its high in 1960 with 818. The 2010 Census estimates Sebeka to be 711.
