New England is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Dade County, in the U.S. state of Georgia. The 2020 census listed a population of 546.[2]

History

[edit]

An early variant name was "Morrisons Station".[1] The present name, adopted in 1889, is after the northeastern region of New England, the native home of the town's founders.[3] A post office called New England City was established in 1889, and remained in operation until 1907.[4]

The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the place as the "Town of New England City" in 1891.[5] The town's municipal charter was repealed in 1995.[3]
