History
[edit]Scottsburg was founded in 1854 in the low lands of the Kings River at Poole's Crossing.[4] In 1858, W. W. Hills established Hills Ferry at Poole's Crossing. The ferry and the town were destroyed in the winter of 1861-1862.[4] It was rebuilt on higher ground, but it was flooded again in 1867.[4] The town was rebuilt on top of a bluff overlooking its prior location and renamed Centerville.[4]
The Scottsburgh post office opened in 1856, closed in 1858, re-opened in 1859, and closed forever in 1864.[4]
