Huguenot, Georgia

Huguenot (/hjudʒnɑːt/) is an extinct town in Elbert County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1]

History

A post office called Huguenot was established in 1894, and remained in operation until 1908.[2] The community most likely was named for the fact a share of the first settlers were descended from the Huguenots.[3]

gollark: It has a nice search UI now, using some JS so you can type and get results in real time as you do.
