Between is a town in Walton County, Georgia, United States. As of the 2020 census, the town had a population of 402.
History
The first permanent settlement at Between was made in the 1850s.{{cite book | url=http://www.kenkrakow.com/gpn/b.pdf | title=Georgia Place-Names: Their History and Origins | publisher=Winship Press | author=Krakow, Kenneth K. | year=1975 | location=Macon, GA | pages=18 | isbn=0-915430-00-2}} Between was incorporated in 1908 by an act of the Georgia General Assembly.{{cite book|title=Acts and Resolutions of the General Assembly of the State of Georgia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tXIwKseCbfYC&pg=PA408|year=1908|publisher=Clark & Hines, State Printers|page=408}}
It has been suggested by many that the town is called Between because it is equidistant to Atlanta and Athens.{{cite news | url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=4dBWAAAAIBAJ&pg=2267%2C2879765 | title=Some towns sure have funny names | work=The Miami News | access-date=May 19, 2015 | author=| pages=4A}} It is also between Walton County's two largest cities, Loganville and Monroe. Actually, strong public opposition to annexation by either Loganville or Monroe resulted in a successful public movement to incorporate the area, which struggled with the challenge of choosing a name for the new town. Eventually the simplest and most obvious name was chosen.{{cite book|title=Weird, Wacky, and Wild Georgia Trivia|last=Watson|first=Stephanie|author2=Lisa Wojna|year=2008|publisher=Blue Bike Books|isbn=978-1-897278-44-4|pages=59}}
