History

A post office called White Sulphur Springs was established in 1841, and remained in operation until 1919.[2] The community was named for a mineral spring near the original town site.[3] A variant name is "Brandywine Station".[1]

The Georgia General Assembly incorporated White Sulphur Springs as a town in 1907.[4] The town's municipal charter was repealed in 1995.[3]
