Church Hill

This name was given to the large settlement here because of its many churches. 
Shiloh Baptist, still active, was constituted in 1835.  

Smyrna Presbyterian, constituted July 28, 1838, was active until 1925. 

Church Hill Methodist was here from 1838 until 1898.

The Christian Union Church operated from 1840 to 1870.

The famous old St. Mary's Road from Columbus to St. Marys, on the coast, passed 
on the west side of Smyrna Church and in front of the others.  

The old Mt. Pisgah Free Will Baptist Church was nearby. 

This section, known as Cut-Off District, originally part of Stewart County was 
added to Marion County in 1847.
