Allentown, GA Homes for Sale & Real Estate

Allentown, Georgia, is a small, historic city uniquely situated at the intersection of four counties—Wilkinson, Twiggs, Bleckley, and Laurens—making it a distinctive community in middle Georgia. Named in 1891 after John Allen, an early postmaster, and incorporated in 1901, the city owes its origins to the extension of the Macon, Dublin & Savannah Railroad, which spurred its development as a hub for local farming communities. With a population of just 195 as of 2020, Allentown offers a quiet, suburban-rural lifestyle, characterized by a tight-knit community where most residents own their homes. The city spans a land area of approximately 3.07 square miles, with its center and most buildings located in the southern corner of Wilkinson County, though its limits extend into the other three counties.
