| description |
Located in northwestern Lee County, the Gold Hill community coalesced during the mid-1830s. Originally located in Chambers County, the settlement fell within Lee County’s boundaries after its 1866 inception. Resident Nathaniel Robertson donated land near the Gold Hill Methodist Church for the establishment of a schoolhouse around 1870. Although no building remains today, when Gold Hill School existed it lay across Lee County Road 93 from the Methodist church. The school served the small community for several years, but closed due to a lack of students. The school reopened in 1915, but again ceased operations in 1922. |
