Places to stay in Jackson, Georgia

Jackson is a city in Butts County, Georgia. The city is the county seat of Butts County. The community was named after President Andrew Jackson like the capital of Mississippi. Founded in 1826, Jackson began as a 303-acre plot purchased for the purpose of starting the town. The plot was divided into squares and each square into lots. The first buyer of a lot in the new town was John D. Swift of Newton County, Georgia. During the American Civil War, much of Jackson was razed by the army of General William T. Sherman in his infamous March to the Sea. After the war, Jackson, like much of the South, struggled economically for decades. Jackson remained little more than a small village until the arrival of the railroads in the latter half of the 19th century. On May 5, 1882 the first train arrived in Jackson, heralding a new era in transportation of people and goods. Local restaurants include Lucky's Italian Restaurant, Jimmy’s Steak Out, Bradley’s Olde Tavern, and Lucky’s New Italian Resturant.
