Griffin

Few cities in Georgia have a history as closely tied to railroad expansion as Griffin. Founded in 1840 as the terminus of the Monroe Railroad and named for Lewis Lawrence Griffin, it grew from a planned rail settlement into the seat of Spalding County. The city stands in the rolling Piedmont of central Georgia, south of Atlanta, where its commercial streets serve surrounding agricultural and residential communities. Griffin is also the birthplace of John Henry “Doc” Holliday, the dentist and gambler linked to the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.
