The town of Childsbury is a planned town near the Strawberry Bluff. It was once a prospering town with a good number of various amenities like a race track, general store, ferry, school, chapel, and tavern. However, with the growth of the neighboring plantations, the town of Childsbury withered. This is why it is not a town today anymore. And this is also why it is only being commemorated as the Childsbury Town Site.

Like the Strawberry Chapel, the Childsbury Town Site tracks its history back to James Child. Child is an English settler who was granted 1200 acres worth of land in Strawberry Bluff. His land was the farthest that the ships then could get to upstream, so he also established a ferry business for the settlers that came to live in the town of Childsbury.
