Garden City has the distinction of being the second city founded by Col. Johann G. Cullmann, the first being the City of Cullman in 1873. In 1876, Cullmann bought land bordering a line of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad about 13 miles south of Cullman and began recruiting settlers on his trips north. Cullmann named the new settlement Garden City for of it lush vegetation and also as a marketing point.

In 1878, 12 families from the Chicago area settled in the new town. Some of these families had lost everything and sustained injuries in the great Chicago fire in 1871. The town incorporated in 1878.
