Inscription. William Reape purchased the land that the Brinley Grist Mill was built on in 1665. It was later willed to William Brinley in 1715. John Brinley, who as the son of William Brinley, built the mill in the 1700’s. The mill was the first business in the area and settlers would bring their grain here until the early 1900’s. The mill brought in settlers and helped the town of Oakhurst grow.
