The city was incorporated in December 1828.<ref name="nga"/> The area was developed for cotton plantations, and planters migrating from the eastern areas of the South brought along or bought enslaved African Americans in the domestic slave trade to use as laborers. By 1860 Troup County had become the fourth-wealthiest county in Georgia, based on cotton as a commodity crop. It was the fifth-largest slaveholding county in the state.<ref name="nga"/> As the county seat, LaGrange was a center of trade for this prosperous area, and wealthy planters built more than 100 significant homes in the city. During the [[American Civil War]], LaGrange was defended by a volunteer women's auxiliary group known as the [[Nancy Harts]] or Nancy Hart Rifles, named after [[Nancy Hart]]. After defeating the Confederates in nearby [[West Point, Georgia]], Colonel [[Oscar Hugh La Grange|Oscar H. La Grange]] led his [[Union Army|Union]] troops to the county seat of LaGrange. He placed [[Confederate Army|Confederate]] prisoners near the front of the column. The Nancy Harts negotiated a surrender with the colonel. Although local assets were burned and looted by Union troops, Colonel La Grange spared the private homes of LaGrange, including [[Bellevue (LaGrange, Georgia)|Bellevue]], the home of former US Senator and then Confederate senator [[Benjamin Harvey Hill]], a slave owner. La Grange may have been returning positive treatment which he had earlier received while in captivity. He had been given medical care by Confederates and was attended by a niece of Senator Hill. After recovery, Col. La Grange was exchanged for a Confederate prisoner, and he returned to battle duty. To show their gratitude for his sparing their homes, one of the Nancy Harts hosted a dinner for Col. La Grange. He paroled some local prisoners so they could attend. Many women of the town cooked all night to provide the meal. The next morning the Federal troops marched out, taking various men of the town as [[Prisoner of war|prisoners of war]]. They were soon released, when it was learned that [[Battle of Appomattox Court House|General Robert E. Lee had surrendered]] at Appomattox. ===19th century=== In the late 19th century, LaGrange developed as a railroad center and as an industrial center. Textile mills were developed here and elsewhere in the upland region. Initially they employed only white workers. They increased in regional, state and national economic importance into the mid-20th century. === 20th century to present === Gradually in the late 20th century, much textile manufacturing moved offshore, out of the United States. The city has transitioned to a mixed economy with some new industries. [[Interstate 85|Interstates 85]] and [[Interstate 185 (Georgia)|185]] pass through LaGrange, which is a transportation hub in the area. The city has industrial and commercial access, and a [[Wal-Mart]] Distribution Center was developed here.
