Munnerlyn, Georgia

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

History

A post office called Munnerlyn was established in 1880, and remained in operation until 1960.[2] It is unclear whether the community is named after Colonel John D. Munnerlyn, a local attorney, or after Charles James Munnerlyn, a Georgia politician.[3] Early variant names were "Lumpkins Station", "Thomas", and "Thomas Station".[1]
