Carbondale is an unincorporated community in Whitfield County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1]
History[edit]
An early variant name was "Cove City Post Office".[2] A post office called Cove City was established in 1870, the name was changed to Carbondale in 1904, and the post office closed in 1907.[3] The present name is for the coaling station at the town site, coal being a carbon-based fuel.[4]
