Apalachee, Georgia

[2] It stretches along Lower Apalachee and Parsonage Roads seven miles (10 km) north of the county seat of Madison.

The first settlers arrived in the Apalachee area around 1820, making it one of the oldest communities in Morgan County.

[2] Apalachee was first known as Dogsboro (or Dogsborough[3]), a name of unknown origin, in the years before a railroad line was built through the settlement.

[3][4] However, the town was hit hard by losses from the boll weevil and Great Depression that it gradually declined in the latter part of the century.

Few buildings still exist today,[9] and most remaining structures are residences on the north side of Parsonage Road.
