Built under five different names before 1958
Centerville’s older sections were built while the community was still known as Busbayville, LaVilla, Gunn, Dunbar, or Toy — the name “Centerville” only appears on record starting with an 1888 map, and the city didn’t formally incorporate until 1958.
What that long informal period means for crawl space work
Nearly seventy years of construction happened here before any municipal building standard applied, so crawl space venting and moisture control on Centerville’s older properties can vary house to house rather than following one uniform era. Middle Georgia’s humid subtropical climate — around 51 inches of rain and humidity in the low-to-mid 70s year-round — means even newer Centerville infill benefits from a real vapor-barrier and drainage check, not just the older stock.

Houston County’s humidity, by the numbers
Centerville sits inside the same humid subtropical band Macon-Bibb documents for the whole area — roughly 51 inches of rain and 70-plus percent humidity most of the year.
