History

Hornbeak in 1922

Prior to the establishment of the town, in 1854 a school was started in what locals refer to as "old Center Cemetery," which is located just south of modern-day Hornbeak. The school stayed in operation until 1885.[5]

Hornbeak was originally settled in the 1870s as Wilsonville. By 1887, the name was changed to Hornbeak, after Frank Hornbeak, a local store owner who also served as the postmaster. The town saw its first bank, the Bank of Hornbeak, in 1904, incorporated in 1916 with John Hodge serving as the first mayor.[6]
