Founded in 1882 and incorporated in 1920, Stockbridge is named for Professor Stockbridge, who taught school in the area before the Civil War. In more recent years, the city, long dominated by the rail system, has grown to the second largest incorporated community in Henry County. Immensely proud of its colorful heritage, the city celebrates “Ole” Stockbridge Days” each May. First time homebuyers are drawn to the city’s many two and three-bedroom homes set on spacious, landscaped lots. Combining the region’s natural beauty and the community’s well-kept homes, Stockbridge features some of the most beautiful neighborhoods south of Atlanta. Newer master-planned communities offer residents comprehensive tennis and aquatic facilities. Many Stockbridge residents even favor exclusive gated communities often surrounding the city’s well-manicured golf courses.
