History
The community was named after John Winter, a railroad official. Winterville was incorporated in 1904.
Since 1991, when the City of Athens dissolved its city charter to form the unified government of Athens-Clarke County, Winterville has been the only municipality located wholly within Athens-Clarke County.
As of 2024, Athens-Clarke County has converted 1.1 miles (1.8 km) of the abandoned Athens-to—Savannah railroad spur into a paved walking trail titled "Firefly Trail". It will eventually connect to the Georgia Hi–Lo Trail, which will become the longest paved trail and longest arboretum in the United States.
