Recovery, Georgia

Recovery is an unincorporated community in Decatur County, Georgia, United States.

[1] The community's name originates from Camp Recovery, established during the First Seminole Indian Wars as a hospital base to which the sick soldiers from Fort Scott were sent to recover.

Camp Recovery was occupied for only two months, but the suffering of the men there produced a lasting impact on the area.

The story of the poor soldiers and their dying days at the camp is well known by local residents.

A Federal Monument on the site marks the burial place of U.S. officers and soldiers who died during the hostilities in the Flint and Chattahoochee River Counties 1817–1821.
