Richland Georgia

The city of Richland is located approximately 8 miles from Lumpkin, the county seat of Stewart County.
First settled in 1827, Richland was named for the home district of several pioneer families from South Carolina.

The community became a busy railroad junction when the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery and the Columbus Southern rail lines met here in 1889. Richland was incorporated in 1890.

By 1913, the city had 3 banks, 3 hotels, 25 stores, guano factory, cotton seed oil mill, Coca-Coca bottling plant and other enterprises.

The older part of the city is a historic district listed in the National Register of Historic Places as significant in areas of city planning, transportation, architecture and social history.
