| Barrsville originated as an orange cultivation area and was originally called Ellisville for Giles Underwood Ellis. He founded the town in 1845. The Post Office existed off and on from June 8, 1871 to 1882. There is an existing community called Ellisville in Columbia county now but it is not the above mentioned town.
