About Us
Named after the gallant Major Pelham, a graduate of West Point Academy and an officer in the confederate Army, the town of Pelham was incorporated in 1881. Mention the name Pelham, Georgia and most will immediately recall having visited or heard of The Hand Trading Company Building. Built in 1916, by the late J.L. Hand this beautiful masterpiece of architecture is a replica of The Marshall Field Building in Chicago, Illinois. Listed on the Historic Preservation list and currently under renovation this building is our cornerstone. However, the fabric that holds this "Special Place" together is the citizens of Pelham and Mitchell County that live, work and play here.Located just 200 miles south of Atlanta, Georgia and only 52 miles north of Tallahassee, Florida, located between Albany, Thomasville, Pelham is the perfect place to stop and enjoy. Come visit our "Special Place" you will be glad you did.
