Discover Lanett
Lanett, on the Chattahoochee River across from West Point, Georgia, was known as Bluffton from about 1835, a name that fits its site on a bluff near the river's old bed. In October 1798 the Indian agent Benjamin Hawkins passed through on what is the first known journey across the area, and his path crossed the present city. A Presbyterian church was organized in 1837 at the home of Thomas S. Reese, and during the Civil War the Bluffton tanyard made leather for the Confederacy. Sources give the date of Bluffton's incorporation as December 7, 1865, or February 20, 1866, the date its act was approved.
More about Lanett
Lanett Cotton Mills was incorporated in 1892, and Lanett Bleachery and Dye Works in 1895; both became part of the West Point Manufacturing Company. After an election held on August 14, 1893, the town changed its name to Lanett, combining the names of Lafayette Lanier and Theodore Bennett, the company's founders, and its new charter was approved on February 1, 1895. Early mayors included George Newton Croft Sr., E. B. Reid and James D. Norman. Forrest "Fob" James, elected governor of Alabama on November 7, 1978, was born in Lanett and grew up here.
