First Stores in Plantersville

According to Judy Borden's book:

"Although the village is considered one of the oldest in Lee County, it was 1870 before Con Issac established the first store in the community on a site about 100 yards east of the present juncture of Highway 6 and Richmond Road. In 1872, a post office was opened in Issac's store and the Postal Department selected the name of Plantersville.

Will Pounnd opened a store across the road from Issac about the time the Post Office was established. Later, Albert Mabry purchased Will Pounds's store."
