Welcome to Historic Hogansville, Georgia

The town of Hogansville was named for William Hogan, who in the early 1830’s owned two of the original land grants from the state of Georgia. His land lots included what is now Main Street, and also included the intersection of the north-south railroad from Atlanta to West Point, and the east-west road toward Augusta, now Highway 100. When Hogan and other landowners gave the right of way to the Atlanta-West Point Railroad in the 1840’s, Hogan gave 150 feet at the crossroads with the stipulation that a depot be built there. Hogansville was incorporated in October of 1870 and was known as a center of commerce and the largest cotton market in the area. For much of its existence Hogansville was a mill town, and the historic mill village continues to provide housing for much of Hogansville's population.
