Ebenezer Independent chapel was established in 1846 by members of Groeswen Independent chapel who had previously met at Ynys Farm, Rhydyfelin (Rhydfelen). The chapel was completely re-built in 1896 but closed in 1969. The building was demolished soon afterwards to make way for the reconstruction of the Cardiff to Merthyr Tydfil trunk road.
