Manage episode 406649315 series 2316485
Episode Notes
Today Marie speaks with Jim Grier and Tony Cornett of the Historical Society of Lula-Belton to share the history of this "tale of two cities." Lula became a significant hub as a railroad junction for the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line Railway (later part of the Southern Railway System) and played a crucial role in its development. The presence of the railroad made Lula an important hub for shipping and receiving goods, contributing to its growth and the prosperity of the surrounding agricultural region.
