Winterville, GA Depot - Train Stations/Depots on Waymarking.com

Land grants in the late 1700s brought settlers to what is now the Winterville area. With the building of Georgia's first railroad, housing began to cluster around Six-Mile-Station, a wood-and-water stop six miles east of Athens, on the Oglethorpe-Clarke County line in the 1840s. The railroad attracted three brothers, surnamed Winter, from Germany. Soon after, the rail stop became known as Winter's Station, and in 1866, the Oglethorpe Post Office was designated as Winterville.
