History

Variant names were "Rhea Mills" and "Rheas Mills". A post office called Rheas Mills was established in 1867; the name was changed to Rhea Mills in 1893, again to Rhea in 1894, and the post office closed in 1963.[4][5] The community has the name of William H. Rhea, an early postmaster.[5][6]
