Sasser was established circa 1881 and incorporated by the General Assembly in 1890. It was named for William Sasser. Which William Sasser is a mystery to me. I’ve found several men with that name in Georgia in the 1800s.
Sasser has done a great job revitalizing its small downtown area. The commercial centers of many towns of this size have been almost completely abandoned.

So encouraging to see his kind of revitalization!
I grew up in Sasser, GA, but haven’t lived there since the early 80’s, and I enjoyed your pictures of Sasser. The picture of the Methodist Church is beautiful. I attended Church there every Sunday when I was a young girl, and remember the days when the Church was filled with families and children of all ages. I would have loved to see pictures of some of the old homes in Sasser. Thanks for including our town.
