Adel, Georgia rises from a very interesting story. Its original name was Puddleville-- but its first postmaster, Joel Parrish, hoped to change it. He ended up viewing a sack with the name "Philadelphia" printed on the back, so he removed the first four letters and the last four letters, leaving himself with "Adel." Thus, the city was born. Adel, Georgia has a population of roughly 6,000 people, and is one of the most charming cities in the entire state.

Macon, located southeast of Atlanta, was first settled by Moundbuilders and the Hitchiti and later by the Creek Indians. In the 1680's English traders founded Macon and opened a post there. In 1822 Bibb County was created and in 1823, Macon was formed. It was named in honor of Nathaniel Macon, an anti-Federalist North Carolinian who served as Speaker of the House, president pro-tem of the Senate and made unsuccessful attempt at the vice-presidency in 1824.
