Hogansville was incorporated in 1870 and remains a historic small town with a thriving and growing business community. Located in Troup County between Atlanta and Columbus, Georgia, the city blends rich history with continued investment and progress.
Hogansville is home to numerous architecturally and historically significant properties, including the Stark Mill and mill village, outdoor amphitheater, the historic train depot, the Royal Theater, and the Grand Hotel. The city’s residential neighborhoods feature a mix of historic homes and affordable housing communities, offering diverse living options for residents.
Downtown Hogansville is supported by an active Hogansville Merchants Association and is widely known for its unique shops and antique stores, earning its reputation as an antique destination in West Central Georgia.
Hogansville also hosts one of Georgia’s most beloved fall events—the annual Hummingbird Festival—held each year on the third weekend of October. The festival attracts thousands of visitors and highlights the city’s strong sense of community and local pride.
The historic Royal Theater, originally built in 1937, has been fully renovated and reopened as of late 2024 as a multi-use venue for live performances, movies, and community events. After serving for decades as a movie theater, the building was donated to the city in 1981 by Ralph Howard, Sr. and J. Ralph Matthews, Sr. It later housed Hogansville City Hall until 2021 before undergoing restoration to return it to its original cultural purpose.
The current Hogansville City Hall opened in June 2021 and is located at 111 High Street. The building previously served as Citizens Bank and later PNC Bank, preserving another piece of Hogansville’s historic downtown architecture.
