Conyers City is located in the state of Georgia and is only the second largest city in the country. The state of Georgia opened up land for settlement in 1816 and a log cabin was built by John Holcombe. Holcomb protested the coming of the railroad, but eventually sold his land for $700 to Dr. W.D. Conyers, a Covington banker. The railroad named the watering depot Conyers Station and the land was sold to D. M. Parker, a businessman.
Conyers grew to a population of 1,800 people in the early twentieth century, and was noted for its brothels and saloons. It also boasted a fine hotel, good schools, and a college with twelve doctors and lawyers. In the progressive era after Reconstruction, Conyers's Sally Fanny Gleaton became an influential suffragette. She traveled extensively in Europe and North America, working with Eleanor Raoul and Carrie Chapman Catts.
The Conyers population is diverse. Hispanic and white are broken down separately, as is Native American, Hawaiian, and Other Pacific Islander. Conyers Georgia ranks third in the number of naturalized citizens, and second only to Lakeview Estates CDP (40 percent). The proportion of people who were born abroad is the lowest, with only 1% of total birthplaces being foreign.
While the population density of Conyers is low, it is still relatively high in comparison to the surrounding area. The population density of Stonecrest, GA is higher than that of Conyers. Stonecrest has a population density of 1,469 people. Stonecrest, Georgia is 3.5 times the size of Conyers, which is a sign of its growth potential. But, despite its modest growth, Conyers has a thriving business community.
