Coffee Springs takes its name from the mineral springs where Native Americans lived and fished long before settlers arrived, and local historians believe soldiers from General John Coffee's regiment who died on the Creek War march are buried in nearby mounds. The first European settlers came around 1830, and the 1850 and 1860 censuses identify the Hatton and Crumbie families as the first to settle the area.
In 1889 the Central of Georgia Railroad built a line from Albany, Georgia, to Lockhart in Covington County through Coffee Springs. The town incorporated in 1900, and by 1906 it had two drugstores, four lumber companies and a turpentine distillery. From 1907 to 1910 it was home to a baseball team billed as the "Amateur Champions of the World," and in 1914 two spring-fed concrete swimming pools with changing houses were built. A fire in 1920 destroyed several downtown businesses that were never rebuilt. After the Great Depression, crop failures and the closing of the bank, the railroad connection was discontinued in October 1941. Coffee Springs High School burned in December 1994 and was not rebuilt, and in 2015 the town sold the mineral springs to a private business.
