The town was named for General Jett Thomas, an Indian fighter in the <a href="/articles/history-archaeology/war-of-1812-and-georgia/">War of 1812</a> (1812-15). He is also credited with assisting in the construction of the <a href="/articles/arts-culture/georgia-state-capitol/">state capitol</a> at <a href="/articles/counties-cities-neighborhoods/milledgeville/">Milledgeville</a> in 1805-7 and Franklin College on the campus of the <a href="/articles/education/university-of-georgia/">University of Georgia</a> in 1806.</p> <p>The town was laid out with parallel streets running north and south, east and west, with the courthouse square in the center of town. The judges of the inferior court had the authority to sell lots to individuals on a one-third cash basis with two years to complete the payment. This money was used to build the first courthouse, which was completed in 1828. The second courthouse was completed in 1852, and the present courthouse was erected in 1908. In the southeast corner of the square is a cannonball mounted on a marble base, said to be the first fired at Fort Sumter, off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. P. W. Alexander, a noted correspondent during the <a href="/articles/history-archaeology/civil-war-in-georgia-overview/">Civil War</a> (1861-65) and a citizen of Upson County, retrieved it.</p> <p>A few miles north of the square is one of the oldest houses in Thomaston, the Pettigrew-White-Stamps House. Built by John E. Pettigrew in 1833, it currently serves as the Upson Historical Society Museum. The African American Museum is housed in a late 1920s three-room shotgun-style house.</p> <p>The Civil War erupted on Thomaston’s <a href="/articles/geography-environment/soils/">soil</a> on April 18, 1865, nine days after Confederate general Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, Virginia, when Union cavalry raiders moving from Columbus to Macon embarked on three days of devastation in Upson County. The raiders, led by Major General James Harrison Wilson, looted homes, destroyed three of Upson’s <a href="/articles/business-economy/cotton/">cotton</a> mills, and set fire to a steam locomotive. In 1866 Thomaston’s African Americans held an <a href="/articles/history-archaeology/emancipation/">emancipation</a> celebration, which has continued every year since; celebrated in May, it is the country’s longest-running commemoration of freedom from <a href="/articles/history-archaeology/slavery-in-antebellum-georgia/">slavery</a>.</p> <p>During the twentieth century Thomaston’s economy was primarily based on the manufacture of <a href="/articles/business-economy/textile-industry/">textiles</a> and tire cord. Granted a charter in 1899, Thomaston Mills shipped textiles worldwide and served as a major source of economic stability and urban growth, along with B. F. Goodrich’s tire cord mill, Martha Mills. East Thomaston (established by Thomaston Mills) and Silvertown (for workers at Martha Mills, later WesTek) were typical of southern mill towns of the time. Thomaston’s mill-town era ended when its main employer, Thomaston Mills, declared bankruptcy in 2001.</p> <section class="block block-simple-image align-center wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter" data-image-id="7920"> <img decoding="async" width="777" height="1024" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='777'%20height='1024'%20viewBox='0%200%20777%201024'%3E%3C/svg%3E" class="attachment-large size-large perfmatters-lazy" alt="Thomaston Mills" data-src="https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-777x1024.jpg" data-srcset="https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-777x1024.jpg 777w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-228x300.jpg 228w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-820x1080.jpg 820w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-697x918.jpg 697w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-420x553.jpg 420w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-68x90.jpg 68w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-61x80.jpg 61w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-455x600.jpg 455w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-777x1024@2x.jpg 1554w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-228x300@2x.jpg 456w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-820x1080@2x.jpg 1640w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-697x918@2x.jpg 1394w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-420x553@2x.jpg 840w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-68x90@2x.jpg 136w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-61x80@2x.jpg 122w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-455x600@2x.jpg 910w" data-sizes="(max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px" /><noscript><img decoding="async" width="777" height="1024" src="https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-777x1024.jpg" class="attachment-large size-large" alt="Thomaston Mills" srcset="https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-777x1024.jpg 777w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-228x300.jpg 228w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-820x1080.jpg 820w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-697x918.jpg 697w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-420x553.jpg 420w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-68x90.jpg 68w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-61x80.jpg 61w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-455x600.jpg 455w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-777x1024@2x.jpg 1554w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-228x300@2x.jpg 456w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-820x1080@2x.jpg 1640w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-697x918@2x.jpg 1394w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-420x553@2x.jpg 840w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-68x90@2x.jpg 136w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-61x80@2x.jpg 122w, https://bunny-wp-pullzone-cjamrcljf0.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thomaston-mills_001-455x600@2x.jpg 910w" sizes="(max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px" /></noscript> <div class="nge-captions"> <figcaption>Thomaston Mills</figcaption> <figcaption class="nge-credit-text">Courtesy of Thomaston-Upson Archives</figcaption> </div> </figure> </section> <p>Even with the closing of Thomaston Mills, Thomaston’s population has remained stable.
