Beginning in the 1840s as a stop known as "Four and a Half" on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, eventually a small village developed known as Johnston Station, eventually Ludowici gained its name for a German tile manufacturer who settled there and made red clay roofing tiles that became popular through south Georgia.
