Chalybeate Springs is an unincorporated community in Meriwether County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1]
History
The first settlement at Chalybeate Springs was made in the 1830s.[2] The community was named for a chalybeate-impregnated mineral spring near the original town site.[2] A variant name is "Chalybeate".[1] A post office called Chalybeate Springs was established in 1860, the name was changed to Chalybeate in 1895, and the post office closed in 1929.[3] The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the place in 1907 as the "Town of Chalybeate Springs".[4] The town's municipal charter was dissolved in 1995.[2]
