Thomson

Thomson has served as a railroad town in east-central Georgia since the 1830s. Established along the Georgia Railroad, it grew amid the gently rolling Piedmont country west of Augusta and remains the seat of McDuffie County. The city is closely associated with Blind Willie McTell, the influential blues musician born here in 1898; an annual blues festival honours his legacy. Populist politician and publisher Tom Watson also made his home in the county, reflecting the area’s place in Georgia’s political history.
