About Lovejoy

Lovejoy, Georgia, known today as the City of Peace and as Lovejoy Station during the Civil War, is located just 30 miles south of Atlanta. Though a small town with a population of 6,000, Lovejoy is currently experiencing a period of rapid growth, expanding by more than 100 percent from 2000-2010. Rooted deep in America’s history, farmers would bring cotton and watermelons to the city before and during the Civil War to be transported by railroad to other states. At its start, Lovejoy consisted of a mere six stores: a bank, post office, depot, garage and two warehouses. The city was also the site of a cotton gin until 1932 and later became home to Hastings Seed Farm and a Quarter Horse farm. Lovejoy was named after Frank Lovejoy, an American actor best known as the star of the radio drama Night Beat, who is buried in the city’s Lutheran Church Cemetery on Lovejoy Road. The city was also home to Dr. J.K. Wallis and his renowned medical practice. From 1904 to 1956, people would travel from all over the country to visit Dr. Wallis, many in horse and buggy. The historic Wallis House has since been restored as the Lovejoy Manor, supporting the preservation of the city’s rustic history. Today, residents and visitors alike enjoy the city’s quaint atmosphere and friendly neighborhoods, and with population on the rise, Lovejoy continues to advance and grow.
