JONES CROSSROADS

Troup and Harris County residents first settled at the crossroads of
the LaGrange - Whitesville - Columbus Stagecoach route and the West
Point to King's Gap Road in the late 1820's. Named for local
landowner, Christopher Columbus Jones (1831-1904) and his son
Monroe, Jones Crossroads once had several flourishing businesses,
including a cotton gin, a horserace track, a tavern, and a U.S.
post office called Paulina. Monroe Jones established the rock
store in 1903 which members of the Avery Family have owned and
operated since the 1920's. Just south of here is Union Baptist
Church, established in 1838, and the site of Union Academy
and the Jessie Wisdom Institute.
