History
According to a story by Peggy Sublette who wrote for the Voice newspaper in 1973 and who has lived in Eastwood for 46 years, “there is some question as to how and when the place came to be known as Eastwood. Captain William Harrod’s County militia in 1779 and 1880 included a John Eastwood”, and she suggests that “the town’s name could go back to his kin. At any rate, there was an Eastwood Methodist Church as early as 1851”.
