Take the north Georgia cities of Winder or Jefferson for example. Winder was Jug Tavern until the city was renamed after a railroad man – John L. Winder – who is credited with bringing the Georgia, Carolina & Northern Railway to town. Jefferson, once named Thomoccoggan, was named in honor of President Thomas Jefferson.

There’s little that remains of the city of Russell. Perhaps, just a few businesses that bear Russell in their names.

Fort McClellan has some interesting buildings. The fort, as it were, is no longer a fort. It’s an area of Anniston, Ala., that is being redeveloped – officer housing, for example, is now a residential development.
