Do you know of Rett ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Rett. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Rett.<1>

Our sources for Rett (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Rett other than they indicate that Rett would be found somewhere in Carroll County, Georgia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1891 and closed  in 1905.
