Situated about seven miles north of Madison along Highway 441, this town was host to two different railroad lines. In 1888 the Georgia Central was built, and in 1907 John Bostwick built the railroad that ran from Bostwick to Apalachee as a connector to the Central of Georgia. 1907 was the same year in which the community of Apalachee was incorporated. Schools have always been an important part of Apalachee. The early schools were privately owned and operated. In 1910 the Apalachee School, a large two-story building, was moved to its present location. Although the schools of Morgan County have long been consolidated, the old Apalachee School is now being revitalized as a community educational center.
