History

An early variant name was "Morrisons Station". ^[1] The present name, adopted in 1889, is after the northeastern region of New England, the native home of the town's founders. ^[3] A post office called New England City was established in 1889, and remained in operation until 1907. ^[4]

The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the place as the "Town of New England City" in 1891. ^[5] The town's municipal charter was repealed in 1995. ^[3]
