The town was named after Shaderick Kight, who donated the land to build the town. He requested the simpler spelling of the name for more efficient mail delivery and processing. The Georgia General Assembly incorporated Kite in 1891. U.S. Route 221 passes through the center of town as Montgomery Street.
