Soon after Warren County was created, the town of Warrenton was laid out.  In 1798 it was made the county seat of Warren County, Georgia. Incorporated in 1810, the Town of Warrenton is situated on the Macon branch of the Georgia Railroad, near Goldens Creek.  

Warrenton was once called the "Mule Town" because a mule car was operated to transport passengers to Camak, Georgia to catch the Georgia Railroad Train and to bring back arrivals. The train took 3 1/2 hours to go to and from Atlanta, Georgia and 1 1/2 hours to go to and from Augusta, Georgia.

In 1908, the Town of Warrenton was changed to the City of Warrenton.

Warrenton is located just 42 miles west of Augusta and 100 miles east of Atlanta on Interstate 20. Athens is 65 miles northeast, Macon is 80 miles southwest, and Savannah is 139 miles south.
