History

A post office called Ranger has been in operation since 1891. It is uncertain whether the town was named after Ranger, North Carolina, or the Confederate rangers.

The Georgia General Assembly incorporated Ranger as a town in 1910.

The town was dissolved on May 3, 2023 when Governor Brian Kemp signed HB 773, which passed in late March 2023, into law. This was a result of the town not providing police, utilities, business licenses, and in addition, not holding an election since 2005. Governmental services are now provided by Gordon County.
