About Station & Building Names
The Station at Mill Point Neighborhood pays homage to the original train station that once occupied the corner of Trollinger and Williamson Ave. During the late 1880’s, the train station served as the distribution point for many of the mills around the area. Natives and the North Carolina Railroad System called that station “Mill Point.”
