Durand is an unincorporated community in Meriwether County, Georgia, United States. [1]
An early variant name was "Stinson", after James W. Stinson, a pioneer citizen. [2] The present name is after the Durand Realty Company, which promoted the town site. [2] A post office called Stinson was established in 1883, its name was changed to Durand in 1911, and the post office closed in 1957. [3] The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the community in 1910 as the "Town of Durand". [4] The town's municipal charter was repealed in 1995. [2]
