The county seat of Centerville also serves as local hub for business and commerce, providing employment for over 2,000 residents in its government offices, banks, schools and shops. Literally centered within an eight-mile radius farms and woodlands, the town provides abundant amenities for nearby rural residents. The epitome of small town America, Centreville offers diverse housing options and meticulously preserved examples of period architecture against the backdrop of charming, tree-lined neighborhoods. The 200-year-old history of Centreville becomes evident when you view the rows of handsome, towered Victorian Gothics that contrast with 2nd Empire mansard roofs and federal townhouses along brick sidewalks. In fact, every building style imaginable is represented in this closely knit, star-shaped community that stretches between two streams and reaches from the Corsica River landing to the railroad.
