"First United Methodist Church of Villa Rica —Although historic documentation is sketchy, it is believed that the Methodist Church built their first building, a log cabin, in 1830 making them the first church in the city. Around 1845, a wooden church building was built. When Hixtown moved and Villa Rica was created, the church elected to build a new white frame church. It was constructed in 1886 on the current church site. The old church was abandoned in 1890. The construction on the current church began in 1905 and was first used in July 1906." ~ City of Villa Rica History

North Avenue is visible on all the available Sanborn maps, but it began as called Villa Rica. The Sanborn maps and the tax records are consistent. Once the road merges with Elm Circle (College on the Sanborn maps), it became a dirt road and was not paved until sometime after 1933. According to the tax records, the oldest house on North Avenue dates to 1868 with many of the other houses built around the turn of the twentieth century. There were a few houses built in the 1940s, close to the Methodist church, and a few more built in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Architectural types found on this street include American Small Houses, New South Cottages, Bungalows, and Ranch Houses. The Methodist church, according to the tax records, was built in 1905 and is still occupied and used as a church today." ~ City of Villa Rica Historic Preservation Committee
