Georgia has a long history, and towns tend to come and go.  Auraria in Lumpkin County was the thriving center of the Georgia gold rush for a time, now it's really just a memory.  White Sulphur Springs in Hall County used to be a tourist destination.  One of my favorite subjects to research so far has been the town of Cassville in Bartow County, which ended it's existence as a different town in a different county.  Names are important.
