Lowndes County Courthouse in
Valdosta, Georgia on the National Register of Historic Places.

| The
city of Valdosta was incorporated on December 7, 1860. The county government
was then moved from nearby Troupville, a steamboat landing, to Valdosta.
When a railroad was routed through Valdosta, the residents of nearby Troupville
simply and quite literally, moved most of their town to Valdosta. There
are a few of the old Troupville buildings still standing in Valdosta! Its
courthouse was built in 1905 and is on the National Register of Historic
Places. |
||||||
| Valdosta
was a large producer of long-staple cotton until 1917, when the boll weevil
destroyed the crops. The area then made the transition to raising tobacco
and pine trees. |
||||||
| Many of Valdosta's first citizens are buried at Cat Creek Cemetery, located on the outskirts of Valdosta. | ||||||
| Wild Adventures Park in Valdosta, Georgia has no less than nine roller coasters and is one of the most fun for the buck places to be found! | ||||||
