Griswoldville, Georgia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

32°52′14″N 83°29′20″W / 32.87056°N 83.48889°W / 32.87056; -83.48889

Griswoldville is an unincorporated community in Jones County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1] Griswoldville is located about ten miles east of Macon.[2]

History

A post office called Griswoldville was established in 1849, and remained in operation until 1928.[3] Variant names are "Griswold" and "Griswoldsville".[1]

The community was founded as an industrial site/company town by, and named for, Samuel Griswold, proprietor of a local cotton mill.[4][5] In addition to his three-story, 24-room mansion, Griswold built a church, slave and workers quarters, expanded his cotton gin factory (which later produced firearms), a saw mill, a grist mill, brickworks, and factories that made furniture, candles, soap, and other products.[2]

The town was largely destroyed at the Battle of Griswoldville in 1864 during the American Civil War.[6]
