• Notes

  The future site of Surrency, Appling, Georgia was settled in the early 1850's by Allen Powell Surrency, a Tattnall County native. Surrency, who became a prominent businessman and local civic leader, initially operated a sawmill and owned the only general store in the area. Like Baxley, the community was known by its railroad station Number 6 prior to being named Surrency in honor of its founder. The Town of Surrency was locally incorporated in 1904, while the Georgia General Assembly chartered the town in 1911. During its heyday in the early 1900's, Surrency was recognized as the "crosstie center of the world" with as many as five train carloads shipped a day. At that time, a number of businesses were located in Surrency, including six general stores, a grocery store, a drugstore, a bank, two hotels, a cotton gin, and grist mill. The population reached 443 in 1920, but increased to only 445 by 1930. SOURCE: History of Appling County, http://www.baxley.org/site/page5512.html
