Discover Shellman
Shellman, in Randolph County, was incorporated in 1883. It was first named Ward, for John P. Ward, whose efforts helped bring the South-Western Rail Road to the area and put a depot at the spot that became the center of town.
More about Shellman
Only two years later the town was renamed Shellman for Major R. F. Shellman, general traffic manager of the Central of Georgia Railroad, who promoted the young town and helped pay for its new school, the Shellman Institute. The Randolph County Historical Society has documented the town's history from 1827 to 1883 and its historic buildings from 1830 to 1950, and the Shellman Historic District in the commercial center is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Five miles northeast is the battleground of Echowanochaway Creek, where on July 27, 1836, settlers and militia fought the Creeks in a 45-minute battle that left three white men and eighteen Creeks dead.
