Macedonia
Macedonia was the home of Thomas Hamilton after he left Henderson County in 1822. Many think the name is of Biblical origin according to Hallie Sparks. Some think the early settlers came from Montgomery co. N.C. where they had a Macedonia, N.C. Macedonia had stage stops and many thriving businesses until the railroad came through. By 1850 there was a cabinet shop, boot and shoe makers, wagon makers, millers, machinists, blacksmiths, saddlers, weavers, gunmakers, tailors and one Baptist clergyman. Later there was a cotton gin and sawmill. December 5, 1860, James L. Oliver deeded one acre to "Scholastic population" for a school. Milam Store was the gathering place. 
Maple Creek - Wesport
Maple Creek was established on the banks of Maple creek. It had a store, grist mill, and saw mill owned by Naith Spellings. William Woods and Naith Spellings owned the cotton gin run by mule power. Two bales of cotton were carried by wagon to Nashville that brought back supplies. The post office was established March 29, 1852 James J. Wilson postmaster. It was discontinued December 24, 1894. Doctor Hammett was the first to practice medicine. A school house was built about a mile west of Maple Creek. After the railroad was built in the 1890's, Maple Creek moved 3 miles west to the railroad. The new town was called Westport. 
Marlborough-Vale
Marlborough-Vale was organized in 1836. Settlers came from Montgomery County N.C. by 1819. The first polling place was at the home of David Green Jr. Two years after the organization a post office was established June 29, 1838 and named Martin creek with William Martin as the first postmaster. On February 16, 1852, it became Marlborough. Marlborough grew rapidly until the Paducah, Tennessee and Alabama RR was built in the 1890's. The railroad station at Vale caused the business to move to Vale. The post office was also moved to Vale November 12, 1900 with James B. (Mr. Jim) Forrest as postmaster. The Marlborough United Baptist Church, the Church of Christ at Union Hill and the Mt. Pisgah and New Hope Methodist Churches were in the area. The Mt. Pisgah Methodist Church now meets with the New Hope congregation or the Hollow Rock Methodist Church.
