Nothing in City View is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean City View has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Monaghan Mill in Greenville, 0.3 miles away.

How a place gets listed

1Talk to the stateEvery nomination goes through the State Historic Preservation Office. Owners, towns and historical societies can start one.
2Try a local or state list firstMany states keep their own register with a shorter form, a common first step for old barns, halls and schoolhouses.
3Write it upA nomination covers the history, photos and a map. Monaghan Mill’s page links to a real one.
Know an old place in City View?A mill, a schoolhouse, a cellar hole, a church: add a photo of it to City View’s story, or a memory of it.
