Mundy's Mill is an unincorporated community in Clayton County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1]

History

The community was named after E. T. and R. W. Mundy, proprietors of a local gristmill, with the same name.[2] Mundy's Mill, one of the oldest landmarks in the community, was built in 1890 by Andrew Jackson Mundy and Erasamus Tomlin Mundy. The mill produced corn and wheat for the surrounding community for more than six generations. In 1986, the mill was destroyed during a fire caused by arson. One of the only remaining pieces of the mill, a waterwheel, is on display at Mundy's Mill High School.[3]

Education

Mundy's Mill High School is operated by the Clayton County School District.[4]
