A Brief History of Pattonsburg
Pattonsburg wasn't always in its current spot. The original town, now called Old Pattonsburg, was about four miles south.
In 1993, a huge event called the Great Flood of 1993 hit the area. This flood caused a lot of damage to the old town. Because of this, the people of Pattonsburg decided to move the entire city to higher ground. This new location is where Pattonsburg stands today.
Where is Pattonsburg?
