Primrose, Georgia

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

History

The community most likely was named after the primrose flower.[2] A post office called Primrose was established in 1907, and remained in operation until 1931.[3]

The Georgia General Assembly incorporated Primrose as a town in 1908.[4] The town's municipal charter was repealed in 1995.[2]
