Carbondale is an unincorporated community in Whitfield County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.
An early variant name was "Cove City Post Office". A post office called Cove City was established in 1870, the name was changed to Carbondale in 1904, and the post office closed in 1907.[1] The present name is for the coaling station at the town site, coal being a carbon-based fuel.[2]
