Living in Griffin

The land which is now Spalding County was claimed in the 1540s by Spaniards as part of Florida. Then, in 1629, England declared the land part of South Carolina. Not until 1764 was this area an official part of the colony called Georgia. Not until December 20, 1851, was Spalding County founded. It was created from parts of Pike, Henry, and Fayette counties. General Griffin envisioned a town that would prosper at the crossings of a North-South line and a tract running East-West. After determining where these railroads would meet, he bought 800 acres in Pike County. Griffin made a plan for the new town which included wide roadways, plots for six churches, two schools, parade grounds, and a cemetery. In 1842, the first steam engine came through town to Griffin named after General Griffin.

The Historic Griffin Grocery Company Building built in 1890 was a hub for business and trade and today is the home for The Griffin Welcome Center, The Griffin and Spalding County Chamber of Commerce, The City of Griffin Economic Development Department and The Griffin Museum. The Museum contains an impressive array of Griffin artifacts and memorabilia. Also located upstairs is a banquet room, complete with a catering kitchen.

Today the calendar for Griffin and local happenings is full, from concerts, musicals and ballet in the Griffin Auditorium to athletics including youth sports, high school athletic programs ranging from football to tennis, basketball, wrestling, soccer, golf and track.
