The first settlers in what is now Thompson’s Station arrived in the late 1700s. In 1800, there were only 24 local taxpayers, but by 1866, that number reached 200. The town was first known as White House. In 1836, it became Littlebury in 1836, reportedly named after then-postmaster Littleberry Starks. In 1856, after Dr. Elijah Thompson donated the land where the village was built, Thompson’s Station took root. When trains rolled into Thompson’s Station in August 1855, the village grew as a shipping center. Farmers from surrounding areas drove their hogs, sheep and cattle to be taken to market. The railroad remained a big part of the town’s life through the 1940s, when chemical companies relied on trains to transport the region’s phosphate rich soil to processing plants. However, as the highway system and trucking transport grew, rail traffic faded and the town’s depot was torn down in the 1950s. A new depot was constructed in 1996 and now serves as the Town Hall. Thompson’s Station was incorporated as a town in 1990. The town’s population in 2017 was estimated at 5,662.

Thompson’s Station is governed by a Board of Mayor and Aldermen, comprised of a mayor and four town aldermen. The town’s day-to-day operations are overseen by a town administrator. Citizen panels provide input and direction to BOMA members and staff. The next election will take place in November 2020. Current Mayor is Cory Napier.
