01
Three neighboring places
Centerville belongs to the linked Pricetown–Nihizertown–Centerville group in eastern Fayette County. The rural settlement study explicitly identifies three settlements, so the grouped name should not be treated as a single alias or as evidence that all three histories are identical.
02
A place recognized in planning
LFUCG lists Centerville separately among its rural settlements. Its recognition in a land-use inventory is a useful location and preservation record, but it supplies no verified founder or founding date.
