Text of marker: "Hoschton Train Depot. The four Hosch brothers founded Hoschton in 1881 in the hope of influencing the proposed route of the Gainesville, Jefferson and Southern Railroad. In 1883 this depot was built on land donated by the brothers. The railroad transformed the town and surrounding areas, serving as a catalyst for the development of commerce, agriculture, education, industry, communications, and transportation. The railroad provided a link with other Georgia communities, opened the market for the region's agricultural products, made manufactured goods widely available, and stimulated the growth of businesses, churches, schools, and the town itself. Train service ended in 1947. 2002.8 Erected by the Georgia Historical Society, the City of Hoschton, Hoschton Women's Civic Club, and Hosch Family Descendants 78-1" - External Identifiers:
