Lovejoy

Among the cities of Georgia, Lovejoy stands out for its Civil War-era railroad history on the southern edge of metropolitan Atlanta. Set in Clayton County’s gently rolling Piedmont terrain, the city developed around Lovejoy’s Station, a stop on the Macon and Western Railroad. Fighting took place here during the Atlanta Campaign in 1864, when the rail line was strategically important to Union and Confederate forces. Today, Lovejoy is part of the fast-growing suburban belt south of Atlanta while retaining the name and historical associations of the former station community.
