History
Centerville was established in the 1820s as the county seat.[2] Centerville then was located near the geographic center of Talbot County, hence the name.[2] A variant name was "Centre".[1] The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the place as the "Town of Centreville" in 1835.[3] The town once had its own school district, formed by an act of legislature in 1905.[4] The town was an incorporated municipality until its charter was officially dissolved in 1995.[2]
