The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Winston was originally called Crofton's Depot, and under the latter name was laid out in 1871 when the railroad was extended to that point. Other early variant names were "Winstonville" and "Emporia". The present name is after F. K. Winston, a railroad official. A post office called Winstonville was established in 1872, the name was changed to Emporia in 1879, and changed once more to Winston in 1885.
