Charles B. Hagood, an entrepreneur in Milton County, built the Hagood Store at the turn of the 20th century. This brick structure housed a millinery run by Bunche Devore and a post office from 1902-1905, where Hagood served as postmaster. The general goods store sold a variety of products to Milton County residents and to people living as far away as Sandy Springs, including animal feed, ice cold sodas, and butter. Hagood sold the store in the 1920s, and he served in the Georgia State House from 1915-1916.
