Wikipedia will tell you the following about the beginnings of the community of Bainbridge.
Bainbridge was laid out in 1831, named after the prominent war hero of the time, William Bainbridge. A post office originated in 1835 and the town was incorporated in 1847.
This weekend, Bainbridge celebrates that 200 years of history.
