  • Bibb Manufacturing Mill, Columbus, Georgia
    Bibb Manufacturing Company, an important part of Georgia’s cotton and textile industry for more than a century, became one of the state’s largest employers by the mid-1950s before its decline and sale in 1998.
    In the year 1900 Bibb Manufacturing purchased a dam site on the Chattahoochee River near Columbus from the Columbus Power Company. A new mill was built called the Columbus Mill; the surrounding community was named “Bibb City.” In time this facility would become the largest cotton mill in the country.
    As the company grew, so did the surrounding mill communities. Bibb provided company housing, churches, and schools; other structures included swimming pools, auditoriums, and gymnasiums. By the 1920s each of the Bibb communities also had an on-site social worker who implemented clubs, athletic programs, and medical care.

    Today the Mill site has been turned into an event venue and it’s called the Bibb Mill Event Center.
