History

The area surrounding Georgia Southern University was once called Collegeboro, but was never incorporated and eventually Statesboro grew outward encompassing "Collegeboro" and the university. Statesboro is a city in southeast Georgia (US state) United States, and is the county seat and most populous city of Bulloch County, Georgia County. The proprietor replied, "You are standing in the middle of town." The soldiers destroyed only the courthouse—a crude log structure that doubled as a barn when court was not in session. The school continued to grow in the following decades and eventually became Georgia Southern University, a comprehensive research university with more than 16,000 students. After the Civil War, the city began to grow and Statesboro emerged as a major town in southeastern Georgia.
