Nellieville is a historically Black neighborhood and community in Augusta, Georgia. Originally incorporated as a village in Richmond County on December 26, 1893, it evolved alongside other post-Reconstruction African American neighborhoods, such as Turpin Hill and The Terri. These neighborhoods grew rapidly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries as African American families sought to purchase property, escape municipal restrictions, and cultivate a self-sustaining community. During its peak, the neighborhood was supported by thriving Black-owned small businesses, alongside vital educational and social institutions. Chief among these were the Nellieville School and the Shiloh Orphanage—the latter founded on 15th Street to provide housing, education, and vocational training for children denied access to whites-only facilities. Over the decades, as Augusta expanded, the distinct borders of these coinciding Black neighborhoods naturally absorbed and merged into the larger, officially recognized Bethlehem Historic District.
