Allentown, Georgia, is a small, historic city uniquely situated at the intersection of four counties—Wilkinson, Twiggs, Bleckley, and Laurens—making it a distinctive community in middle Georgia. Named in 1891 after John Allen, an early postmaster, and incorporated in 1901, the city owes its origins to the extension of the Macon, Dublin & Savannah Railroad, which spurred its development as a hub for local farming communities. With a population of just 195 as of 2020, Allentown offers a quiet, suburban-rural lifestyle, characterized by a tight-knit community where most residents own their homes. The city spans a land area of approximately 3.07 square miles, with its center and most buildings located in the southern corner of Wilkinson County, though its limits extend into the other three counties.

Allentown currently has 1 single family home for sale with a list price of $198,900.
