The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Ellington, formerly known as Barnesville, was renamed in 1856 for Sina Huff Ellington, who permitted a railroad line to be extended through her family's farmland. An early variant name was "Logan's Creek". A post office called Logan's Creek was established in 1845, and the name was changed to Ellington in 1895.
The Civil War Fortification at Barnesville was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
