The Chimney Springs site once was part of a settlement established in the 1830’s called Post Oak. The settlement contained several 30 to 40 acre farms within a 2 or 3 mile radius. While cotton was the main cash crop, farmers raised corn, peanuts, watermelons, wheat, oats and small animals. They normally went to Marietta twice a year – once in the spring to purchase supplies and again in the fall to sell their farm products.
A one-room school, a post office, a store and the Old Mt. Zion church at Post Oak and Johnson Ferry Roads served the community.
