Morrow Station was established as a depot on the Macon & Western R. R. when it began operation in 1846, a post office opened there in 1871, and the City of Morrow was incorporated in 1943. Within what are now Morrow's city limits stood the birthplace and childhood home of Capt. William A. Fuller, a Western & Atlantic R. R. conductor who recaptured the locomotive General after Andrews' Raiders stole it at Big Shanty on April 12, 1862. Fuller's pursuit ended north of Ringgold, where Andrews and the Union soldiers with him abandoned the engine and it was retaken. Fuller, twenty-six at the time of the raid, was widely praised for helping thwart Andrews' plan to break the Confederate supply line by burning bridges on the W. & A. R. R. After about twenty years with the railroad, Fuller became a merchant in Atlanta and lived there until his death in 1905. Among the oldest churches in the Morrow vicinity are Philadelphia Presbyterian, founded in 1825, Mt. Zion Baptist, founded in 1846, Morrow Methodist, founded in 1868, and Morrow Baptist, founded in 1898.
