History
The first settlers arrived in what is now Thompson’s Station in the late 18th century. The community was originally known as “White House,” but changed its name to “Littlebury” in 1836. After the arrival of the railroad in 1855, Dr. Elijah Thompson donated land for a town and train station, and the community was renamed for him.
On March 5, 1863, during the Civil War, the Battle of Thompson’s Station was fought, with Confederate forces led by General Earl Van Dorn defeating Union forces under Colonel John Coburn.
