This church is located in Williston, North Carolina in an area the locals call "Down East". The town was named for John Williston, who was one of the area's first settlers.

Williston has long been nicknamed "Beantown," though why is still a point of confusion. Some say it was because of the large quantities of beans grown in the community, and others say it was because residents had a reputation for loving to eat beans.

No beans about it, Springfield Methodist Episcopal Church, South was built in 1883 and the is now called Williston United Methodist Church.
