Old Centerville Road dates back to the early nineteenth
century, shortly after the founding of Tallahassee and Thomasville, Georgia. The six mile long wagon road was part of another north-south route linking the antebellum
plantations to the Tallahassee market and rail lines to St. Marks. Along
Centerville Road, south of Old Centerville Road is
the small community of Centreville in Leon
County. While Centreville and the neighboring hamlet of Sunny Hill have long
since disappeared, the unpaved section of Old Centerville Road still retains it's historical character. Along the
shaded canopy road, scattered former tenant
dwellings peek out. Their forest green painted siding is dusted with clouds of
red clay stirred up by passing motorists.
