History[edit]

The inhabitants of the area formed Bonaire around the newly laid Georgia Southern & Florida railway when it came through in 1888.[2][3] Newspaper records in 1888 uniformly spell it without the final "e", but in 1889 the modern spelling began to be used (perhaps because the post office was registered with that spelling on Dec 3, 1888[4]). The name is reputedly of French origin, meaning "good air".[5] The Georgia General Assembly incorporated Bonaire in 1912.[6] The town's charter was dissolved in 1995.[5]OnApril 5, 2022, the town was heavily damaged by a high-end EF3 tornado, which damaged or destroyed multiple homes and knocked down trees, power poles, and power lines. One person was injured.[7]
