Hampton, Georgia...a Great Place to Call Home!

Established in 1873, Hampton is one of tradition and history. The Train Depot is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, and is open daily to welcome visitors.  Hampton was designated as a "Tree" city and a "Bird Sanctuary" city.  The city park offers picnic areas with pavilions, tennis courts, and sidewalks encircling the park for an early morning jog or an evening stroll.  Hampton is a growing community that works to retain its small town atmosphere.
