Hurtsboro was founded in 1857 as Hurtsville by Joel Hurt Sr. (1813–1861). That year he and his wife, Lucy Long Hurt (1822–1915), built their home with lumber from their own sawmill on Hurtsboro Creek, which also supplied the growing community. A railroad spur from Columbus, Georgia, the Mobile and Girard, was completed the next year, and the town flourished.
Hurtsboro was incorporated in 1872, and in 1883 its name was changed to Hurtsboro. One of the Hurts' eleven children, Joel Hurt Jr. (1850–1926), grew up in the house and became an important developer of Atlanta. The Joel Hurt House, a one-story Greek Revival home with a nine-column front porch, updated with Edwardian details in 1906, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. In 1920 Hurtsboro was the scene of an armed standoff and siege at a house that became known as the Hurtsboro race riot.
