Moore’s Station was founded in 1891 as a station on the Macon, Dublin and Savannah Railroad.
According to local Dublin-Laurens County historian, Scott Thompson; with the coming of Dublin’s first railroad to the western regions of the state, a small community sprang up around the small depot located on the railroad where the lands of J.T. Moore and A.H. Moore came together.
A post office named Picciola had been established in 1879 in the area with Jeremiah H. Yopp as its first postmaster. In 1889, just prior to the coming of the railroad, the name of the post office was changed to Vallambrosa. That post office closed in 1899 and the mail was sent to Dublin for delivery.
Located five miles west of Dublin, Moore’s Station was located near the junction of the Dublin-Cochran and the Old Chicken Road. The Moore families sold of their original plantation lands to speculators, which included Dublin hardware magnate, W.W. Robinson, and Thomas M. Hightower, who maintained a large pear orchard on the outskirts of the community. Other early property owners included Alex Brady, Rollin Hughes, N.C. Chandler, Z. Kennedy, and Dr. E.R. Jordan. The Laboring Friends Society established their lodge at Moore’s Station in 1899.
For most of the first half of the 20th Century, Moore’s Station, though no longer active as a railroad depot, was a small commercial center for farmers living west of Dublin. A two story brick store remained in existence until the 1950s on the southwestern part of town.

Germany-based Mage Solar will put its U.S. headquarters and first manufacturing plant in Dublin, GA.
The Ravensburg, Germany-based solar company will invest $30 million and create 350 jobs over the next five years at its North American campus in the central Georgia town of Dublin. The Mage Solar project could eventually generate 600-plus jobs and more than $100 million in investment.
Mage Solar will operate in a nearly 200,000 square foot building, CEO Norbert Philipp said, prior to the official announcement. The campus will include a solar module manufacturing plant and a training center.
Dublin’s strategic location, coupled with Georgia’s workforce training program and its reputation as a Southeast economic hub, helped seal the deal.
“Georgia is, in many ways, the business and economic hub of the Southeastern [United States],” Philipp said. “Dublin’s strategic location, about half way between one of the most well-connected airports in the world and the ever expanding Port of Savannah, provided a logistic advantage.”

Dublin-Laurens County offers something for everyone. The wonderfully mild climate of Middle Georgia creates a haven for the sportsman who enjoys tennis, golf, fishing, or hunting. If you enjoy shopping, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to do so at over 400 stores, including Dublin Mall. The historic downtown is a busy retail center filled with shops, restaurants, the recently renovated Theatre Dublin and the Dublin-Laurens County Historical Museum.
The City of Dublin was incorporated by the Georgia Assembly on December 9th, 1812, and made the county seat. It is said that a citizen, Jonathan Sawyer, named it Dublin after the capital of his Irish homeland.
