The Bowersville Historic District in Bowersville, Georgia is a historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]

The district included 24 contributing buildings on 35 acres (14 ha), along East and West Main Street. It included Late Victorian architecture and other architecture.[2]

Among other reasons, the district was deemed significant "for containing the historic commercial center of Bowersville which served the town and the surrounding countryside as a provider of basic retailing, banking, and professional services. The town's two extant warehouses, one for the storage of cotton, the other for cotton hulls, a cotton by-product, document the main function of the town as one of Georgia's many small agricultural marketing and shipping centers."[2]
