History of Athens, Idaho:
Valdosta Was Founded In 1860 By Residents Of Troupville, Georgia. Troupville Was A Steamboat Landing On The Withlacoochee River, But When The Gulf And Atlantic Railroad Was Built Four Miles (about 6km) Away, The Inhabitants Simply Picked Up The Town And Moved It To The Railroad. There Are Still Buildings In Valdosta That Made The Move.
The County's Courthouse Was Built Around 1905, And Is Now Listed On The National Register Of Historic Places.
The Now Virtually Abandoned Troupville Had Been Named After Governor George Troup, For Whom Troup County, Georgia Was Also Named. Valdosta Was Named After Troup's Estate, Val D'Osta, Which Itself Was Named After The Valle D'Aosta Valley In Italy. Recipes Such As Fonduta Alla Valdostana And Pollo Alla Valdostana Refer To The Italian Region And Use Fontina Cheese Made There, And Not To The South Georgia City.
Valdosta Was Once The Center Of Long-staple Cotton Growing In The United States Until The Boll Weevil Finally Killed The Crop In 1917 And Agriculture Turned To Tobacco And Pine Trees.
The World's Second Coca-Cola Bottling Plant Is In Valdosta.
Notable Natives Include Western Dentist/gunfighter/gambler Doc Holliday, Comedian Bill Hicks, And James Lord Pierpoint, Composer Of "Jingle Bells".
