History

When brothers William A [3] and James C [4] Rhea built a flour and corn mill near the site, the town became established. Its spelling became the present Rhea Mills in late 1892 after having its name changed from the original Rhea's Mills. In 1876, a post office was established and remained active until it closed in late 1907 and the mail ran thereafter through McKinney in Collin County. Rhea Mills served as a trade and supply center for area farmers for most of its history. The southwest corner of the intersection of FM 2478 and FM 1461 is now within the town limits of Prosper, Texas. [2]
