History

An early variant name was "Stinson", after James W. Stinson, a pioneer citizen.[2] The present name is after the Durand Realty Company, which promoted the town site.[2] A post office called Stinson was established in 1883, its name was changed to Durand in 1911, and the post office closed in 1957.[3] The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the community in 1910 as the "Town of Durand".[4] The town's municipal charter was repealed in 1995.[2]
