== Fun facts ==
* Contrary to popular belief, Centerville owes its name not to its geographical position within the state of Georgia, but its position between County seat of Bibb County (Macon) and the county Seat of Houston County (Perry). Historically, it is also located centrally between that of Wellston (today's Warner Robins) and Byron. The earliest Houston County maps show a settlement called Busby, where modern Centerville now stands. Historical documents also show this settlement was called LaVilla, Gunn, Dunbar, and Toy at various times. In 1882, a land map indicated the town as Busbayville. The area map of 1888 shows the community as Centerville, the first known reference to the present name.
* Centerville is mostly a residential community, and has little in the way of amenities to offer. It has the Houston County Galleria, Belk, a Verizon retailer, a few local restaurants and businesses, a bit of public battle fields, Papa John's Pizza, Waffle House, Buffalo Wild Wings, PetSmart, a sports complex, and not much else.
