Tlio foniuliiii;- of Snow Hill, the forerunner of Pres- ton, likely took place about 1845 at wliicli time trees were cut and a clearinpc made wliere now stands Preston.
It seems that the Willis family, later well known in this section and county, was the holder of the land here- about. Philemon Willis the ancestor of Peter AVillis Avbo was an officer in the War of 1812, deeded very earl}^ the site of the present M. E. Church. William Gootee, one of the first inhabitants of the new villao*e, kep...t a store and included the postoffice to which for miles around the ])eople would come once a week to ^^et their mail if any tliere be and do their shoppin, ";.
As Snow Hill grew and the cpiantity of mail in- creased, frequent delays in the service were made be- cause of their being another Snow Hill in Maryland, a much older and larger village. Hence it became neces- sary to change the name. This was done in 1856 while Mr. J. R. Stack of this section was a member of the Legislature. Why the name Preston was selected seems to be unknown, unless to memorialize some ])rominent family in Maryland at that time.
