American Legion Post 50 of Peachtree City was orginally chartered as Post 50 of College Park, GA.
On November 12 1931, nineteen (19) Veterans met with a Department of Georgia representative for the purpose of discussing a plan for organizing an American Legion Post in College Park, Georgia. This meeting was held at the home of one of these men.
Those present were asked to serve as a membership committee and canvas all ex-servicemen for membership and meet with them. A letter was authorized to be written to all ex-servicemen in this community inviting them to the next meeting, to be held November 19th, 1931 at the old City Hall, College Park, Georgia.
Those founding members voted to name the post in honor of the only known WWI casualties from College Park, and Post 50 would henceforth be known as the "Lyle- Brewster" post. Dues were set at $3.00 per year. A rousing vote of appreciation was given to the organizers for their work in organizing the first American Legion Post in College Park, GA.
