The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Southside was first settled in 1850 as a small rural community with townships such as Green Valley, Cedar Bend, and Pilgrims Rest, and the area which is now the city of Southside was formed when they merged. Early Southside's primary source of income was agricultural. Green Valley was the early center of Southside's industry; as its grist mill, blacksmith and sorghum mill were located there. The area's cotton gin was located at Brannon Springs and State Highway 77.

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Southside has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Jacob Green House in Rainbow City, 5.7 miles away.
