History


The community was originally known as Cotaco, named after nearby Cotaco Creek. Cotaco Creek also loaned its name to Cotaco County, which was the original name of Morgan County.[2] The name Cotaco is possibly derived from the Cherokee words ikati meaning "swamp" and kunahita meaning "long".[3] A school was formerly opened in Woodland Mills.[4]

A post office operated under the name Cotaco from 1883 to 1904 and under the name Woodland Mills from 1874 to 1909.[5]
