Riddleville gets its curious name because of a simple coin toss. Mr. Anderson Riddle and Mr. James Page flipped a penny for its namesake. This largely agricultural community is quiet and peaceful, making it the perfect home for buyers who want to get away from it all. Everybody knows everybody, and there is plenty of space in between neighbors.
