History

A post office has been in operation at Box Springs since 1853.[4] The community was named for a local spring that was boxed in and used as a watering stop for the railroad. Pipes were run from the "boxed-spring" to a water tower adjacent to the tracks. The name Boxed Spring was later changed to Box Springs, as it was easier to pronounce.[5]

The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the place as the "Town of Box Springs" in 1913.[6] The town's charter was dissolved in 1931.[5]
