Dublin, Georgia

The City of Dublin, Georgia was incorporated by the Georgia General Assembly on December 9, 1812, and made the county seat of Laurens County, Georgia.{{Cite book |last=Lamar |first=Lucius |title=A Compilation of the Laws of the State of Georgia, 1810-1819 |publisher=T.S.

Dublin, according to a historical marker{{cite web|url=http://georgiainfo.galileo.usg.edu/gahistmarkers/jeffdavishistmarker3.htm |title=GeorgiaInfo :: Carl Vinson Institute of Government :: University of Georgia |publisher=Cviog.uga.edu |access-date=March 24, 2013}} at the town's main Oconee River bridge, was one of the last encampments at which Confederate President Jefferson Davis and his family stayed before being captured by Union forces in May 1865.

Between 1880 and 1910, five railroads connected through Dublin and two bridges were built over the Oconee River. This infrastructure allowed the town to become a major cotton trading and export center for central Georgia. By the early 1920s, however, the boll weevil infestation led to successive cotton crop failures, causing economic collapse and population loss.{{Cite book |last=Hart |first=Bertha Sheppard |title=The Official History of Laurens County, Georgia, 1807-1941 |date=1987 |publisher=Agree Publishers Inc. |year=1987 |isbn=0-935265-12-0 |pages=113}}

On April 17, 1944, Martin Luther King Jr. gave his first public speech, "The Negro and the Constitution" at First African Baptist Church in Dublin.{{cite web|last1=University|first1=© Stanford|last2=Stanford|last3=California 94305|date=June 12, 2017|title=King delivers "The Negro and the Constitution" at oratorical contest|url=https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/encyclopedia/king-delivers-negro-and-constitution-oratorical-contest|access-date=February 22, 2021|website=The Martin Luther King Jr., Research and Education Institute|language=en}}

Dublin is located in north-central Laurens County. The town, named such because the Middle Georgia Piedmont reminded Irish settlers of terrain in their native country, was founded on the Oconee River, which starts in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in northern Georgia before combining with the Ocmulgee River to form the Altamaha, a river which then proceeds to its mouth on the Atlantic Ocean. The Oconee forms the eastern boundary of Dublin, separating it from the city of East Dublin.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|41.5|km2|order=flip}}, of which {{convert|41.2|km2|order=flip}} are land and {{convert|0.24|km2|order=flip|2}}, or 0.59%, are water.{{cite web| url=https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2019_Gazetteer/2019_gaz_place_13.txt| title=U.S. Gazetteer Files: 2019: Places: Georgia| website=U.S. Census Bureau Geography Division| access-date=December 9, 2019}}

The city is located in the central part of the state along Interstate 16. Access to the city can be found from exits 49, 51, 54, and 58. Via I-16, Savannah is {{convert|117|mi}} east, and Macon is {{convert|53|mi}} northwest. US routes 80, 319, and 441 also run through the city. US 441 connects the city to Milledgeville, {{convert|47|mi}} northwest, and McRae–Helena, {{convert|35|mi}} south. Numerous state and local highways also run through the city.

Dublin has two historic districts designated by the National Register of Historic Places: the Dublin Commercial Historic District and the Stubbs Park–Stonewall Street Historic District.{{cite web|url=https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/SearchResults|title=National Register of Historic Places : Search Results|website=Npgallery.nps.gov|access-date=April 6, 2022}} The Dublin Commercial Historic District consists of the original downtown commercial core, including the earliest extant building in the district: the Hicks Building, dating to 1893.

The Navy transferred the hospital to the Veterans Affairs Department in November 1947, and it was subsequently named for congressman Carl Vinson who was responsible for getting it built in Dublin. Today, the medical center provides a range of services to veterans in Middle and South Georgia, including primary care, mental health, ambulatory and urgent care, optometry, women's health, and extended care.

Dublin's Laurens County Library is known for its genealogy department, with archives and records going back two hundred years.

Theatre Dublin, originally known as the Martin Theater, was constructed in 1934 in Dublin's Historic Downtown Commercial District.{{cite web|url=http://www.theatredublinga.com/ |title=Theatre Dublin |website=Theatredublinga.com |date=March 26, 2022 |access-date=April 4, 2022}} The theatre features Art Deco architectural design, with flat symmetrical wall surfacing and horizontal bands, in addition to an overhanging marquee and neon sign.

Since its renovation in 1996, Theatre Dublin has served as a performing arts center for Dublin-Laurens County and surrounding areas. The theatre houses a regular variety of events and performances, including musical artists, plays and performances, orchestras, concerts, and showings of both classical and contemporary films.

The Dublin Carnegie Library was built in 1904 by a grant from Andrew Carnegie.{{cite web|author= |url=http://www.dublincarnegie.com/ |title=Dublin Carnegie |publisher=Dublin Carnegie |date=November 7, 1904 |access-date=April 4, 2022}} It is located in Dublin's Historic Downtown Commercial District, and the Dublin Carnegie is one of only three surviving Carnegie Libraries in the state of Georgia listed on the National Register of Historic Places and still in its original form. The Dublin Carnegie served as public library for the region until the 1960s, at which point the city and county constructed a larger public library. In the late 1970s, the Dublin Carnegie Library was structurally stabilized and maintained by the Dublin-Laurens Historical Society.{{cite web|url=http://www.laurenshistory.org |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101109030900/http://laurenshistory.org/ |url-status=usurped |archive-date=November 9, 2010 |title=Laurens County Historical Society |publisher=Laurenshistory.org |date= |access-date=April 4, 2022}} For more than 35 years, the building served as the home of the Dublin-Laurens Museum.

In 2014, the Dublin-Laurens Museum moved to a new location, leaving the Dublin Carnegie Library unoccupied. The Dublin Downtown Development Authority then renovated the building to its historic stature, restoring many of the building's original features. Since the renovation by the DDA in 2014, the Dublin Carnegie has served as an event space and fine arts gallery, featuring local and statewide art displays.

Dublin, the Oconee River, and Laurens County are mentioned in the opening page of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake: "nor had topsawyer's rocks by the stream Oconee exaggerated themselves to Laurens County's gorgios while they went doublin their mumper all the time." (Joyce explained in a letter: "Dublin, Laurens Co, Georgia, founded by a Dubliner, Peter Sawyer, on r. Oconee. Its motto: Doubling all the time."){{cite web |url=http://www.joycesociety.org/sched_2001.html |title=The James Joyce Society: Archive for 2001 |website=Joycesociety.org |access-date=March 24, 2013 |archive-date=February 17, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130217055123/http://joycesociety.org/sched_2001.html |url-status=dead}}
