Easton Georgia was the name of a small community that now is the Morningside Lennox
Community. Also not far from Ansley Mall, Easton was a farming community and
the creeks in the Morningside area were used by farmers for power for their mills.
In the days before electricity, the water travelling downstream was gathered in a flue
that turned a waterwheel that powered a mill. Mills were used to saw wood, grind grain and for cotton gins.
