A Look Back: History of Madison Mills
The name "Madison Mills" comes from a big gristmill built here in 1859. A gristmill is a special building where grain, like wheat or corn, is ground into flour. It was a very important place for farmers in the area.
A post office for Madison Mills was opened on December 12, 1866. This meant people in the community could send and receive mail right there. However, the post office closed down on May 31, 1942. Today, mail service for Madison Mills comes from the nearby town of Mount Sterling.
