First settlers included John Parramore, Shaddrick Atkinson, E. Blackshear, N.R. Mitchell and John Hill Bryan. The first governing justices were Aaron Everett, Thomas Dekle, Duncan Ray, Simon D. Hadley and A. McMillan. The home of prosperous farms, beautiful mansions, with industry and culture working side by side. (Text by Leb Dekle, President Thomas County Historical Society.)"
