History
Aumsville is on the site of the pioneer farm of Henry L. Turner, who named the settlement for his son-in-law, Amos M. Davis, more familiarly known as "Aumus", who had died on December 23, 1863. Aumsville was incorporated on August 3, 1911.
In 1893 the "Old Wooden School" was built between Main Street and Church Street, and operated until it was replaced in 1922 by Amos Davis School, which eventually closed in 1972.
On December 14, 2010, an EF2 tornado touched down in the center of Aumsville. The winds destroyed homes and caused substantial damage to businesses and City Hall.
