Drayton, Georgia

Drayton is an unincorporated community in Dooly County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1]

History

The community was named after William Drayton (1776–1846), an American congressman.[2] A post office called Drayton was established in 1836, and remained in operation until 1901.[3] The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the place in 1869 as the "Town of Drayton".[4] The town's municipal charter was dissolved in 1995.[2]
