History
The town was originally named for the influential Creek-Seminole leader Osceola. In 1892, the city was renamed Bogart in honor of a locally respected railroad agent after learning that another Georgia community, in Terrell County, was also called Osceola. Bogart was once part of Franklin County, then Jackson County, and now sits in Oconee County with a small portion located in Clarke County. Many of the settlers who came to Bogart, came in during the Land Lottery of 1820. When the train from Athens to Atlanta was built in the 1890s, life flourished in Bogart.
