City Of Winterville

125 N. Church St.
706-742-8600


Winterville Early History:

The building of homes in what was to become Clarke County was delayed, as the 18th century neared its end, by the protests of many Indians that their leaders had signed away Indian lands without authorization. The treaties that had been signed extended only to the Oconee River. In a few year's time, however, part of America's westward movement gradually pushed from the Beaverdam Creek section of Oglethorpe County to the headwaters of Beaverdam (now the Winterville area), on to Trail Creek (now the airport-quarry area), to the east edge of the river, and then finally across into Athens.
