Modern History

Has Macon had any? Could someone add it?

What about old history. Where is the mention of the city name derived from the French city? Migdejong 01:08, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually, the name of the city comes from Senator Nathaniel Macon, as the article explains. Several other cities and counties in the US are also named for Macon, who was quite a big deal in the early republic. The name of the French city Mâcon is coincidence. Hope this helps! --SuperNova |T|C| 08:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Also odd that the history section jumps from 1916 to 1994 or so with no mention of the 80-odd years in between. Or was something edited out? By 1970, the city was no longer really a "transportation hub" and streetcars were long gone. Seems like the period of the World Wars and the post-World War II transformation into a city in which the dominant transportation is private vehicles could be mentioned. Lots missing here; unfortunately, I don't have any good sources to work from. Any Maconites on Wikipedia who are willing to expand the article? 83.25.94.187 (talk) 10:12, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
