A Beautiful Home in Historic Maysville, Georgia

Early records indicate that Maysville, Georgia was a small village in 1847, and was known as “Midway,” as it was midway between Lula and Harmony Grove (Commerce.) In 1869 a brick store was built, and the town’s residents began to refer to it as “Brick Store.” The name was later changed to Maysville, probably after John Mays, a prominent citizen who came to town with the railroad.

 

Maysville was incorporated on September 30, 1879. The town limits included parts of both Banks and Jackson Counties, and the original town limits were drawn to include ¾ of a mile in every direction from the Southern Railroad Depot. 

 

The Maysville Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The district is located along Gillsville Road, Maysville Road, North Main Street, South Main Street and Homer Street. It covers 1700 acres and 194 buildings.
