  • Georgia Power Company Has Been Serving Georgians Since the 1880S
    BUSINESS HISTORY PROFILE Georgia Power Company has been serving Georgians since the 1880s. From a small electric company supplying electricity primarily to Atlanta residents, Georgia Power has grown to become the state’s leading power provider. Not just a producer of electricity, Georgia Power lives up to its longtime motto “A Citizen Wherever We Serve” by creating jobs, bringing new industry to the state, and running one of the largest corporate foundations in Georgia. The people of Atlanta took the initiative to organize the first Georgia Power Company, the Georgia Electric Light Company of Atlanta (GELCA). In 1883, the company built a 940-kilowatt generating plant on Marietta and Spring Streets, installed 22 electric streetlights, and received a franchise that allowed it to provide electricity to Atlanta residents. At first, GELCA primarily provided electricity for street lighting and street Top: Henry M. Atkinson, founder of railway transportation. After Atlanta banker Henry M.

Although the Davis Street Plant was generating 11,000 kilowatts of power and serving about 400 customers, the demand for electricity continued to increase. Atkinson recognized this demand and decided to expand the company.

  • Helen Dortch Longstreet Broadside
    Helen Dortch Longstreet Broadside Descriptive Summary Repository: Georgia Historical Society Creator: Longstreet, Helen Dortch, -1962. Title: Helen Dortch Longstreet Broadside Dates: 1911-1913 Extent: 0.05 cubic feet (1 oversize folder) Identification: MS 2257 Biographical/Historical Note Helen Dortch Longstreet was born in Carnesville, Georgia on 20 April 1863. She was the daughter of James Speed and Mary Pulliam Dortch. She received her education from Brenau College in Gainesville, Georgia and Notre Dame Convent in Baltimore, Maryland. While at Brenau College, Helen Dortch Longstreet met General James Longstreet, the father of her roommate. They married on 8 September 1897 in Atlanta, Georgia at the Governor's Mansion. At the time of their marriage, Helen Longstreet was thirty-four and General Longstreet was seventy-six. They were married only six years and had no children before General Longstreet died on 2 January 1904. Helen Longstreet had many interests during her life and held positions in many organizations. She was reportedly the first woman to hold state office in Georgia as Assistant State Librarian. She served in this capacity under Captain John Milledge from 1894 until 1897. Upon the death of her husband, Mrs. Longstreet was appointed Postmistress of Gainesville, Georgia, a position she held until 1913. Helen Longstreet was also involved in political activism. She was a delegate to the Progressive Party convention in 1912 and backed Theodore Roosevelt for the nomination and election. Her political activism was expressed through her work as editor (and in some cases publisher) of political magazines and newspapers. She lectured throughout the nation on a variety of topics including the interest of economic justice for agriculture and labor.

REGENERATING DIXIE: ELECTRIC ENERGY AND THE MAKING OF THE MODERN SOUTH by CASEY P. CATER Under the Direction of Michelle Brattain, PhD and Joe Perry, PhD ABSTRACT The emergence and spread of electricity profoundly shaped the “long New South.” This dissertation traces the electrification of the US South from the 1880s to the 1970s. Focusing primarily on the Atlanta-based Georgia Power Company, it emphasizes that electricity’s rise was not simply the result of technological innovation. It was a multifaceted process that deeply influenced, and was influenced by, environmental alterations, political machinations, business practices, and social and cultural matters. Although it hewed to national and global patterns in many respects, southern electrification charted a distinctive and instructive path. Its story speaks to the ways the South’s experiences with electrification shaped larger American models of energy transitions and economic development, but also the ways it wrought dramatic changes in the fabric of everyday life.

It was discovered that recorded history of the roles and contributions the women of Franklin County have made on our society was almost non-existent. However, when talking with those who have lived in the community for many years, they often mentioned a woman who had influenced their life or who had played an important role in someone else's life, or who had become known throughout the state or nation for their accomplishments. Yet, people did not have sufficient "details" for recording their stories. Through A Greater Lavonia Community, Inc., a 501 C3 organization, a grant was written and submitted to The Georgia Humanities Council to fund a project to research, identify and recognize these women. Several organizations stepped forward to assist with this effort: Franklin County Gifted Students & their Teachers in Carnesville, Lavonia & Royston Elementary Schools, and FC Middle School; the Lavonia Garden & Woman's Clubs; and Land of Spirit Volunteers. Through the combined efforts of these volunteers this project has been I accomplished.• The original project called for 250 nominees, and then to narrow the list to 50, and then to 10. However, after several months of conducting research, accepting nominations from citizens throughout the county, and gathering biographical information it was decided to alter the process.
