Double Run is an unincorporated community in Wilcox County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1]

History

A variant name was "Doublerun".[1] A post office called Doublerun was established in 1902, and remained in operation until 1919.[2] The community was so named on account of a railroad junction near the original town site.[3]
