Former District 1 City Councilmember Bobby Traylor
The City of LaGrange named the LaGrange Fire Station #4 for former District 1 City Councilmember Bobby Traylor.
Traylor was born and raised in LaGrange and dedicated his life to service — to his country, his community, and his faith. A 1955 graduate of LaGrange High School, he served in the U.S. Coast Guard until 1959, then returned home to build a life rooted in hard work and civic pride. From helping to run the family business at Traylor’s Café to founding Traylor’s Pawn and Jewelry in 1971, Bobby became a familiar and trusted figure in LaGrange.
He was elected to the City Council in 1996 and served nearly two decades with distinction, contributing to countless projects that strengthened the city he loved. A lifelong member of First Baptist Church on the Square and a dedicated leader in organizations such as the Georgia Municipal Association and the LaGrange-Troup County Chamber of Commerce, Bobby’s passion for LaGrange and its people was evident in all he did. His legacy of compassion, leadership, and service lives on in the city he so deeply cherishes.
