Historik

Central was founded by the Atlanta and Richmond Air Line Company in a railroad boom that began in 1873. Central was incorporated as a town on March 17, 1875.

In 1897, Southern Railway moved its headquarters from Central to Greenville; trains no longer stopped to change engines, and soon all shops and offices were closed. The establishment of Issaqueena Mill and, in 1906 Wesleyan Methodist Bible Institute (now Southern Wesleyan University) brought people back to the town.
