New England is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Dade County, in the U.S. state of Georgia. The 2020 census listed a population of 546. [2]
History
An early variant name was "Morrisons Station". [1] The present name, adopted in 1889, is after the northeastern region of New England, the native home of the town's founders. [3] A post office called New England City was established in 1889, and remained in operation until 1907. [4]
The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the place as the "Town of New England City" in 1891. [5] The town's municipal charter was repealed in 1995. [3]
