In the center of downtown LaGrange stands a statue of Marquis de Lafayette, the famous Frenchman who led American troops during the Revolutionary War. The Georgia city is named for something Lafayette said in the 1820s, when he said the area resembled his wife’s estate, La Grange. Today, his statue looks over a city of 30,000, where a lively downtown and comparatively affordable suburban neighborhoods pair with access to West Point Lake. But the local culture capital — numerous festivals, concerts and events — helps LaGrange stand out in West Georgia. “We’re a small town with really big ideas,” says Kyndall Cason, membership coordinator at the LaGrange Art Museum. “We’re the main cultural hub for Troup County and surrounding areas.”
The Marquis de Lafayette proudly occupies the heart of the town square in Lagrange, symbolizing the spirit of liberty and revolution.
West Point Lake boasts a variety of boat ramps, with the Yellowjacket Boat Ramp in LaGrange standing out as a prime destination for boating enthusiasts.

Old favorites and new blood around Lafayette Square
Downtown LaGrange is thriving, with old favorites and new blood around Lafayette Square. Solomon’s Department Store has been around since 1932, selling clothing and accessories, while Charlie Joseph’s has been dishing out hot dogs since 1920. But new favorites include C’sons, an upscale steakhouse that opened in 2008. Otherwise, residents head to shopping centers around the outskirts of town, like LaGrange Plaza or the LaGrange Mall, for big box stores and groceries.
Solomon's Department Store, a trusted name since 1932, has been proudly serving customers for over nine decades.
Since 1920, Charlie Joseph's has been proudly serving up delicious hot dogs, establishing a legacy of taste and tradition that keeps customers coming back for more.

The LaGrange Art Museum's exhibits and events
Housed in the historic building that was once the Troup County Jail, the LaGrange Art Museum sits a block off Lafayette Square in the heart of downtown. It often hosts exhibitions featuring local artists and events in the gallery. Aside from the museum, the city’s events center on Lafayette Square, including the Azalea Storytelling Festival each spring. “The Square is beautifully decorated, people are excited to huddle around and listen to stories, and our storytellers take a lot of pride in their performances,” Cason says. “I don’t think anywhere else has an event like ours.” North of downtown is the Sweetland Amphitheater, which has hosted performances by artists including Nelly, Jason Isbell and Old Crow Medicine Show.

Access to Atlanta and Columbus via I-85 and I-185
Interstate 85 runs southeast of downtown LaGrange and heads nearly 70 miles to Atlanta. Columbus, Georgia, is roughly 45 miles to the south via Interstate 185. While some residents commute to one of the two larger cities, many stay in the LaGrange area to work manufacturing or medical jobs. Transportation within the city is generally car-reliant, although the city is working on alternatives, especially downtown. “With all the new trails the city’s building, Downtown LaGrange is becoming a lot more walkable,” Cason says. Additionally, Troup County provides the Troup Connects system as a publicly available shuttle service for senior citizens and those with disabilities.
Crime rates and severe storms
According to FBI data, LaGrange’s rates for both violent and property crimes were higher than the national and state rates. Both rates have stayed steady over the last five years.
