Euharlee was settled in the 1840s around several grain mills, and was first known as Burge's Mill.
Little is known about the history of the mill whose substantial ruins lie on the west side of Euharlee
Creek.   Daniel Lowery (Lowry) bought the grist mill, built upon the ruins of the earlier mill that had
burned, around 1880.   In addition to grinding, it was reportedly used at some period for carding wool.
