History

Adair bought a tract about a mile south of Old Stockbridge and offered lots at a reasonable price. In 1881, the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad was to pass through Stockbridge between Macon, Georgia to Atlanta. It was granted a post office on April 5,1847 named for a traveling Professor, Levi Stockbridge, who traveled through Stockbridge many of times before the Post Office was built, he was said to be well known and respected in the community now named after him. Others contend that the city was named after Thomas Stock, who was State Surveyor and President of the Georgia State Senate in the 1820s. The depot was located about north of what is now North Henry Blvd but was destroyed by the Southern Railway (US) Railway in the early 1980s.
