Text Box: Historic Carrollton Depot The Historic Carrollton Depot is currently being restored by the City of Carrollton. This structure is the largest of the remaining Central of Georgia Railroad Depots in Georgia. This depot has three sections with the freight warehouse or middle section built in 1882, and the passenger and express warehouse on either end constructed in 1911.The freight warehouse was used to house cotton bales ready to be shipped by rail.     Text Box: Historic Carrollton is the county seat of Carroll County and was founded in 1827 when it was moved from the former site of old Carrollton near  Sandhill to be nearer the center of the county. It was named for the estate of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Maryland. This wild west-like town was once a center from cotton trading with several textile mills located in the city. Carrollton has supported the downtown Adamson Square restoration and  revitalization and other restoration projects in the area.
