It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It was deemed significant

as a relatively well preserved rural community that developed along the railroad tracks during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its founding and growth illustrate traditional locational and community planning theories. Because it was readily accessible to Savannah, it became an early example of a "bedroom community" for commuter businessmen and professionals. Its architecture reflects many of the prevailing design principles and construction practices of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.[2]:4
