The original train depot in Conyers was built in 1845 and still stands in the city's "Olde Town" district. The railroad played an integral part in the city's history, attracting the attention of Union troops, who used Conyers as their headquarters, in 1864 and supporting a thriving farming and mill industry in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
