Sumterville was originally known as Pattons Hill in honor of James W. Patton, who owned the surrounding land. The name was then changed to Sumterville in 1834.[2] At one point, Sumterville was home to an inn, a boys and girls academy, several churches, a dentist, and a drugstore.[3] A post office operated under the name Sumterville from 1836 to 1973.[4]
John Lomax recorded blues musician Rich Brown performing ten of his songs in Sumterville in 1940.[5]
