Weaverville was named in the 1850's for John Weaver, one of three men who built the first cabin. The three men drew straws, allowing the winner to name the town. Weaver won, left shortly after and was never heard of again. Devastating fire destroyed the town on several occasions, eventually leading to buildings made of brick. Several remain today. Two have not changed the type of business for which they were built; the grocery and a drug store are still in operation. Spiral staircases were constructed to permit access to upper floor business. Three of the staircases are still visible in the Historic District.
