Year Erected: 1957

Marker Text: East Point owes its origins to an 1847 Act incorporating the Atlanta & LaGrange RR (now Atlanta & West Point). The charter stated its eastern terminus should be at a convenient point on the Macon & Western RR (now Central of Georgia) between "the City of Griffin and the Town of Atlanta". This exact spot is marked by a bronze disk set in a short concrete post.

East Point's charter, approved August 10, 1887, established the limits of the town from this point -- North 3/4 mile, South 5/8 mile, East and West 1/2 miles forming a parallelogram 1 3/8 miles long (N & S) and 1 mile wide (E & W).
