Welcome

Our Local History

Around 1806, when settlers first came to the area along the Stones River that later became Woodbury, the tiny settlement had no name. It was finally named "Woodville" in 1815. On February 25, 1827, the name was changed to "Danville". Then, in 1836, it was chosen as the County Seat for the new county and was renamed Woodbury, in honor of Levi Woodbury, the Secretary of the Treasury under President Andrew Jackson. In 1836, the town had a population of probably no more than 100.

Major battles of the Civil War took place near the community in the 1860's.
