The Middle Georgia and Atlantic Railroad from Gordon to
Covington was completed in the 1890s. Seeing the
possibilities for a new town, a group of businessmen organized
the Carmel Land Improvement Company, which began purchasing land
for the township later to be known as Mansfield. Legend
has it that the businessmen pledged to name the town after
whoever among the company was still sober after the celebration
and barbeque following the sale of lots. Apparently little
else is known of Mr. Mansfield other than he was there and he
exercised temperance.
Like many rural, agricultural communities, Mansfield has
undergone growth and decline several times according to the rise
and fall of economic prosperity and population. Mansfield
is currently home to the Beaver Manufacturing Company, several
small commercial enterprises and Mansfield Elementary School.
Numerous early 20th Century homes still stand and are beginning
to attract newcomers to the area who appreciate the quite,
historic, small town life and are investing in renovations.
