Centerville

The seat of Leon County, Centerville is located between two branches of Keechi Creek, south of Dallas between Buffalo and Madisonville, where I-45 and Hwys 7 and 75 meet.

Centerville established an annual Black-Eyed Pea Festival in 1937. The community had grown to 961 residents and 42 businesses by 1950, but slowly declined to 836 residents by 1960 and to 805 by 1980. In 1990 its population was reported as 812, and the community had some thirty-five businesses.
