Biohazard and Pathogen Disinfection in Hogansville, GA

Hogansville is a city in Troup County in west-central Georgia, part of the LaGrange metropolitan area.

The town is named for William Hogan, who received Georgia land grants in 1826 and owned much of the land that became downtown Hogansville.

In the 1840s Hogan granted right-of-way to the Atlanta and West Point Railroad and donated land on the condition that a depot be built there, a decision that laid the foundation for the town decades before it incorporated.

Hogansville was officially incorporated on October 12, 1870, and quickly emerged as a regional center of commerce and the area's largest cotton market.

Hogansville developed as a cotton mill town after the Hogansville Manufacturing Company was chartered in 1897 and built a textile mill near Yellow Jacket Creek, along with a mill village to house its workers.

The mill passed through a series of owners including Callaway Mills of LaGrange and U.S. Rubber (later Uniroyal), and the plant still operates today producing industrial fabrics.

The Royal Theater, built downtown in 1937, dates from the era when Hogansville was the commercial center for northern Troup County and parts of three neighboring counties.

The East Main Street-Johnson Street Historic District in Hogansville is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Since 1998, Hogansville has held an annual Hummingbird Festival.

Hogansville maintained its own school system until 1996, when it became part of the Troup County School System.
