[15] Prior to the early 18th century, Bremen and most of Georgia were home to American Indians belonging to a southeastern alliance known as the Creek Confederacy.

The present day Creek Nation, also known as the Muskogee, were the major tribe in that alliance.

This and other circumstances have helped Bremen to grow from a simple railroad junction settled by German immigrants to the largest town in Haralson County.

The 25-bed critical access hospital recently underwent an extensive $7.5 million renovation and expansion and offers its community inpatient as well as outpatient medical services including a 24-hour Emergency Department, same-day surgery, lithotripsy, and a wide range of outpatient services.

[18] The name was changed to Higgins General Hospital on May 1, 1973, in recognition of the work and dedication of its chairman, S.O.
