Woodland
Woodland, located in the North central section, is one of the newer communities, being formed July 30, 1908. W.T. Smith was the first mayor and J.L. Jackson, W.W. Woodall, S.O. Bryan, I.B. Butler and J.T. Russell served as Councilmen. Before Woodland was formed, the only building there was the Presbyterian Church. The spot was selected by A.B. & A Railroad to be a station. The chief engineer of the surveying company was Boonyman, but there was already a station by that name, so Woodland was selected after C.S. Woods of Virginia, who had purchased the surrounding lands and laid out the town lots.
