Dublin, Georgia Information
Known for its rocking St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, the City of Dublin lies in the county of Laurens, Georgia. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 156,201 and it is the county seat for Laurens. The original settlement was named after Dublin, Ireland. Because of Dublin’s location as a midpoint between Savannah and Atlanta, the town in recent decades became home to a small assortment of industrial distribution centers, which complemented various industries—textiles, furniture, and paper, among others—that had already established themselves there in the second half of the 20th century. Historically, however, Dublin’s economy was based on the local cotton, corn, and soybean trades, which blossomed as the town’s central location enabled it to thrive with the growth of the railroad. Originally, Dublin and the surrounding area was home to Native Americans of the Muscogee people. Most of them fled westward with the arrival of European settlers, many of them organizing themselves into armed resistance units which fought government forces and British militias to protect their native territory well into the early 19th century. Ultimately, most of the Muscogee settled in what is now Oklahoma. Despite the Irish ancestry of Dublin’s first non-indigenous settlers, the town, like most of Middle Georgia, by the late 19th century had evolved from mixture of ethnicities. Most of the population descended from Scottish, English, and other western European immigrants. The considerable African-American population descended from most of whose roots lay in Angola or throughout west Africa. By the end of the 20th century, the town had also become home to a growing population of recent immigrants, many of them professionals from India, Korea, and Latin America. As labor migrations from Mexico and Central America shifted from the southwest U.S. to much of the southeast, many immigrants from those regions also moved to Dublin in the first decade of the 21st century. Dublin, according to a historical marker[7] at the town’s main Oconee bridge, was one of the last encampments at which Confederate President Jefferson Davis and his family stayed before being captured by Union forces in May 1865. The city has a total area of 13.3 square miles, nearly all of which is land. In addition, Dublin has two historic districts designated by the National Register of Historic Places: the Dublin Commercial Historic District and the Stubbs Park-Stonewall Street Historic District. The Dublin Commercial Historic District consists of the original downtown commercial core, including the earliest extant building in the district the Hicks Building, dating to 1893. The historic district contains 78 contributing properties, including the Dublin Carnegie Library First National Bank Building (Dublin, Georgia), and the former United States Post Office building. Structures within the district represent a wide range of architectural styles, including Colonial Revival, Neoclassical, Commercial, and Art Deco. The area code for the city is 478 and three zip codes are in use currently: 31021, 31027 and 31040.
