History

The first settlement at Bold Springs was made ca. 1899.[3] The community took its name from a nearby spring.[3] The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the town as Williamsville in 1908, but less than one year later in 1909, the legislature repealed its charter, and the old name of "Bold Springs" was restored.[4]
