Waverly Hall

Waverly Hall was named by its first postmaster, William Osborne, who was appointed on February 2, 1829. In 1827, Mt. Zion Methodist Church was built 1 1/2 miles east on the Old Indian Trail and Stagecoach Road leading from the Flint River by way of Talbotton and Waverly Hall to the Chattahoochee River, and in 1896 the church was moved into town. Near here stood the Foster School, taught by William Foster and James G. Calhoun, which attracted boarding students from Georgia and Alabama. I. H. Pitts & Sons, established in 1869, was the first mercantile establishment in Harris County and one of the first in the area. The Baptist Church was organized in 1893 with Rev. J. W. Cline as pastor.
