A Quiet Town In Georgia

Just down the road is the quaint and beautiful town of Gay, GA that has blossomed over the years! This town was established in the 19th century and was named after a local farmer who played a significant role in its early development. Caitlyn Brandt with Long Leaf joins us to share the history of Gay. Growing tremendously in the early 1900s due to the arrival of railroads, Gay became a key stop for transport of cotton and crops. As the need continued to rise, it became a place for cotton and cotton mills that further boosted its economy and put it on the map. With its strong agriculture presence, it has grown over the years, hosting fairs, festivals, concerts and more, but it has also kept its connection to the past, making it a unique part of the Peach State’s history!
