  Welcome to Chalybeate Springs, Georgia
Chalybeate was one of the earliest settlements in Meriwether County and someone who named the settlement must have been conversant with geology and ancient history.
The word "Chalybeate" has come to mean impregnated with iron salts when referring to water and thus Chalybeate Springs was water that had a large iron content.
From the time Chalybeate Springs was settled around 1831 until the mine shafts were dug almost seventy years later, the residents had always tried to use the natural treasure of the iron deposits.
