The nostalgic community of Long Pond is a history buff's haven. This community was born from the headright grant, back in the days where public domain was turned into private ownership through the headright grant. By meeting certain criteria, a family could be granted 200 acres and up to 50 acres per member or head of their household. They could be granted additional land if the settler promised to build a mill, or other utilitarian structure. Georgia land was pretty much there for the taking at this time. The Long Pond Baptist Church c. 1802, and the United Methodist Church c. 1802 are within walking distance of each other. These are definitely structures to admire for their architecture and stamina to withstand the elements of weather and time.
