Hoschton Depot The wood-frame depot in Hoschton was built in 1883, eight years before the city received a municipal charter (which set the boundaries three-quarters of a mile in each direction from the Gainesville, Jefferson & Southern Railroad depot). The building served as a railroad depot until 1947, when GJ&S successor Georgia Midland abandoned the line. It was recently rehabilitated for use as a community center. Hoschton, a town of 1,300 people, is in Jackson County in northeast Georgia. The historic marker at the depot tells a familiar story about a new railroad's effect on a community.   Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage. Copyright, Steve Storey.
