Discover Georgiana
Georgiana was founded in 1855 by the Reverend Pitt S. Milner, a minister from Pike County, Georgia, who set up a homestead and post office 16 miles south of Greenville and named it for his home state and his daughter Anna. A school followed in 1856 and Milner's general store in 1858, along with a saloon, a steam sawmill and a gristmill. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad reached town on July 4, 1859; railroad officials asked Milner to rename the town Pittsville in his honor, but he insisted on Georgiana. The town was incorporated in 1869 and as a city in 1872.
More about Georgiana
After the Civil War farmers grew cotton, corn, oats and sweet potatoes for market, and Georgiana flourished as a railroad hub, logging town and trading center. Hank Williams, then Hiram, lived here from age 7 to 11, starting in 1931. His mother bought him a $3.50 guitar when he was 8, and Black street musician Rufus "Tee-Tot" Payne taught him to play; he practiced under the house and sang on the streets for tips before the family moved to Greenville in 1934. The GA~ANA Theatre opened on January 31, 1939, and eight months later a 16-year-old Hank Williams played there with his band, the Drifting Cowboys. His boyhood home opened as a museum on June 5, 1993, and the theatre, saved from demolition, reopened in 1999.
