Grantville The Grantville passenger depot stands alongside the former Atlanta & West Point Railroad, now the Atlanta-Montgomery line of CSX. It currently houses the Coweta County Genealogical Society and Historical Research Center. Diagonally across the tracks is a separate freight depot built in 1852. Originally used for both passengers and freight, it was converted to freight-only when the newer building opened. After restoration, now underway, it will become a museum operated by the Newnan-Coweta Historical Society. (Below) Grantville, a town of 1,554 in Coweta County in west Georgia, was named for Lemuel P. Grant, chief engineer of the Atlanta & LaGrange Railroad, which later was renamed the Atlanta & West Point.   Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage. Copyright, Steve Storey.
