Center Point We were told that Center Point got its name because it was half-way between Waxahachie and Hillsboro (in Hill County). It was located about two miles south of Italy on the north side of Hwy 77. There was a school and a store many years ago, but no evidence of a community remains at this time. The last school master was Henry Smithwick and the school consolidated with Italy many years ago. If anyone has any information on Center Point, please contact us.   Copyright © 2002-2016, Ellis County TXGenWeb. All Rights Reserved. This page was last modified: Thursday, 01-Jul-2021 13:17:00 MDT
