History

The first permanent settlement at Between was made in the 1850s. [4] Between was incorporated in 1908 by an act of the Georgia General Assembly. [5]

It has been suggested by many that the town is called Between because it is equidistant to Atlanta and Athens. [6] It is also between Walton County's two largest cities, Loganville and Monroe. Actually, strong public opposition to annexation by either Loganville or Monroe resulted in a successful public movement to incorporate the area, which struggled with the challenge of choosing a name for the new town. Eventually the simplest and most obvious name was chosen. [7]
