Alma Depot is a historic site in Alma, Georgia. It is a one-story frame building and was constructed in 1906 in a style similar to many of the era. [2] It is located on Dixon Street and 11th Street. Alma was the first stop of a logging railroad which had been constructed in 1887. When a turpentine company was started about 1899, Alma got its name and a post office. The town was incorporated in 1904. Alma became the county seat of Bacon County when the county was created in 1914. For the first few decades of the town's existence, Alma saw growth along the railroad and around the depot. [3]
